Every good film, play and television show begins with a good story. At the School of Communications, professors and instructors strive to teach students how to create and develop this story into a workable script.
A degree in Scriptwriting provides students with a structured approach to understanding the craft. Students, by analyzing scripts and producing their own creative work, learn character development, plot, structure, suspense and tension.
Alumni from the program have gone on to write scripts for television and film. In 2003, alumnus Dale D. Moore was awarded second place in the True Independent Screenplay Competition for his script "One of the Enemy."

School of Communications
Webster's School of Communications operates with one goal in mind - to educate and prepare its students to excel as skilled professionals in a global field of communications. To achieve this goal, the school takes a hands-on approach to learning. Students work with professional-grade media equipment as early as their freshman year.
DID YOU KNOW?
Students have an excellent opportunity to interact with other students outside the classroom, connect with professionals in their chosen field and engage in cooperative rather than competitive learning.
