隨著社會與科技發展，電影教育之規劃也持續改變，特別是數位科技的浪潮衝擊下，電影教育的變化也隨之加劇。本研究之目的即在探討美國電影教育如何受到電影產業對、社會及科技的影響。本文以University of Southern California, New York University, University of California-Los Angeles, and Syracuse University 這四個學校為主要研究對象，針對其自1960年代迄今的電影教育規劃、學位授與設計、和課程結構進行整理分析，以試圖理解電影教育與產業、社會與科技變化之關係，並透過文獻研究與專家深訪，加以驗證。此研究發現電影教育機構透過新課程的開設、學程提供及學位授與規定的調整等等方式，反應產業、社會、科技的變化。雖然電影創造的本質並未改變，但其本質及概念仍持續影響學校電影課程的外貌。
American film education system is changing, particularly in light of the digital technology boom. Just how American film education has evolved with regards to the market, social, and technical influences is the objective of this research. Four schools--University of Southern California, New York University, University of California-Los Angeles, Syracuse University--and their undergraduate and graduate curricula from 1960s to present are examined. Qualitative explanations are supported by interviews with administrators and instructors. The study finds that technological developments play an important role in the evolution of American film education by engendering the creation of new courses, programs, departments, and degrees. Yet, the fundamentals of filmmaking have not changed, and schools’ origin and philosophy remain influential factors in shaping the film curriculum.
