Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond Virginia is (rated no. 6 under top MFA-master of fine arts- programs in the 2004 US News & World Report) and it has had a graduate film program for over 40 years and now has an undergraduate film and photo program. It is part of the School of the Arts which is the No. 1 public arts school in the country. You can get more info about it at www.vcu.edu I got a lot out of this place and would recommend anyone and everyone to this place. They're investing a lot into the film program from what I hear.
