Students spend the first year of study in Pittsburgh, taking core management coursework to build the fundamental skills they'll need to succeed. During the second year, the students are in Los Angeles, expanding and enriching their management skills, theories and techniques through specialized coursework taught by some of the entertainment industry's leading professionals. In addition, MEIM students will work side-by-side with industry professionals throughout the year in full-time internships in the management offices of studios, production companies or related firms.
