At Columbia College Hollywood we believe that the best filmmaker is one who understands all aspects of filmmaking. Writers, directors, production designers, actors, editors, cinematographers, composers, and sound people all benefit from understanding what’s involved in writing a script, the kinds of choices a cinematographer confronts, how actors reveal subtext, how sound and music can enliven and transform a scene, the way images are assembled in the editing room. And the best way to understand these things is to do them. Columbia College is about hands-on learning.
Shoot first and ask questions later. That´s our motto at Columbia College Hollywood ("CCH"). CCH is the international community of future filmmakers where art, academics and ambition all reinforce each other to create a powerful learning experience.
Making your own movie isn´t a privilege here - It’s a requirement. CCH learning is hands-on. Columbia’s professors and instructors are working film professionals, thus the majority of classes are in the evening.
Along with their workplace know-how, our faculty brings you their academic credentials and their artistic drive. You don’t just learn to do what they do; you learn to do it at their rich level of understanding and motivation.
That’s the combination that makes the CCH experience unique - studying principle and theory gets you in touch with your best and deepest talent, while practical production work develops the skills to express that talent to its fullest.
CCH welcomes students from all over the US and all over the world. Their wide mix of backgrounds and cultures, and their common commitment to succeed, make for a special spirit and camaraderie. In this energizing environment students “crew” on each other’s films and learn the networking and collaborative skills so crucial to professional success.
Our graduates are working successfully in all aspects of the entertainment industry in Hollywood and around the world.

It's okay. Definately not one of the better film schools out there, but not worthless. Going there, you're likely going to get that first job out of school based on your own portfolio and internship/co-op/work experience, and not on the rep of the program you attended.
It's accrediated in such a way that your credits may not transfer, should you choose to transfer. Be aware of that. It's a career school, which limits the mobility of those credits.
If you're interested, much stronger west coast film schools can be found at:
-UCLA
-USC
-The American Film Institute (Los Angeles)
-California Institute of the Arts
-Vancouver Film
Those can be kind of hard to get into, because they are among the best in the world. But one that's easier to get into, and is still a strong program, is at the Academy of Art University, in San Fran.
