List of film schools in the United States

In the United States, there are numerous institutions both public and private dedicated to teaching film either as a department in a larger university, or as a stand-alone entity. Colleges offering film degrees as part of their arts or communications curriculum differ from colleges with a dedicated film program, which offer degrees in multiple aspects of film making such as theory, directing, cinematography, and screenwriting.

There is also a distinction between film programs in private colleges and art schools, and purely for-profit institutions.
