Master of Fine Arts
in Documentary Studies and Production

These documentary graduate programs and courses are offered by the Long Island, New York campus of Hofstra University.

Program Description

The Master of Fine Arts program in Documentary Studies and Production provides students with the critical, analytical and practical tools for producing documentaries. In combining studies and production, the documentary graduate program reflects a balance between critical inquiry and technical skill, while stressing the importance of aesthetics, ethics and humanistic values through personal, creative expression.

The MFA documentary program is designed to encourage in our students the capacity to discover, develop, and express their own voices and individual perspectives on important issues in society in general and their own communities in particular. With the MFA as their terminal degree, graduates of the documentary graduate program will be prepared to continue their work in current and emerging fields of non-fiction media as well as to teach at the university level.
