The College of Motion Picture Arts offers career-centered graduate and undergraduate programs that challenge students to master the art, craft, and business of storytelling. Here students learn the art of live-action production and animation through a hands-on, project-centered curriculum. They work with a wide range of professional-grade equipment and facilities, including sound stages, mixing theatres, RED cameras, post-production studios, and grip and camera trucks. The College is home to some of the largest studio facilities dedicated exclusively to motion picture education. FSU is the only motion picture college in the country that pays the production costs of every student's motion picture, creating a level playing field so students can focus on art, craft, and imagination. Every graduate has the opportunity to be assigned to a mentor, who coordinates with faculty and staff to create career plans for students as they graduate from FSU.

University Center A also houses many administrative offices, including but not limited to the Admissions Office, Registrar’s Office, Undergraduate Studies, Financial Aid, creating a one-stop shop for FSU students.
