With a history that dates to the first years of talkies, the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts descends from America's first program to confer a college degree in film. Under a name that directly preceded its present one, it became, in the 1980s, an academic unit of its own, within the university. Colloquially "SCA" or "the USC film school," it now has eight academic divisions: Film & Television Production; Cinema & Media Studies; John C. Hench Division of Animation + Digital Arts; John Wells Division of Writing for Screen & Television; Interactive Media & Games; Media Arts + Practice; Peter Stark Producing Program and the Expanded Animation Research + Practice Program.
Having led the school since 1991, dean Elizabeth Monk Daley is the university's longest-serving dean. She holds the Steven J. Ross/Time Warner Chair.
