[edit] Undergraduate Film Revision
Reading through the Undergraduate Film section, I realized that it's very dense. It could be better organized and broken down into sections according to its content to make it easier to digest.
Also, I think it's written from a particular perspective that oversimplifies the program. Basically, the upper-class (3rd and 4th-year) production courses are narrowed down to ColorSync and Narrative. Though what is described is a widely-accepted and followed curriculum, it is not the only one. There are a number of alternative courses, including Experimental, Documentary, etc. that are available. Thus, I recommend revising the section to reflect the eclectic nature of potential upperclass curricula. --johnkellystyle 21:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Study Abroad Programs
[edit] Singapore Branch
It's just been announced by Tisch that they're going to open a branch of the school in Singapore, offering the same cirriculum and all. I wonder if it would be appropriate to cover that here or dedicate a new page to this, but I do not know enough about it and now may be too early. Just a few resources to start us editors off: [1][2] ---Jedd the Jedi 01:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other International Locations
I would agree that note needs to be made of the newly-created Singapore program. Generally, I think the page could use a new section dedicated to Tisch's study abroad programs (part of their special programs department). To my knowledge, there are Film & TV study abroad programs in Dublin, London, Havana, Prague, and Johannesburg.[3] I'm not positive of all the programs for other departments. I recently participated in the Dublin program and know others who have participated in the other programs, so perhaps I can contribute some unique insight. --johnkellystyle 20:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Potential merges
I think Department of Drama should be merged into Tisch School of the Arts. Do we really need an individual page for each academic department of every school at NYU? TommyP 21:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I suppose that for now it may be good idea to incorporate it into the larger article, Tisch School of the Arts. But then we should also merge the other articles, Interactive Telecommunications Program and Department of Photography and Imaging. And obviously if many more sections about the other departments get added and the article gets too long, we can always go back to individual pages for various dept's.

I was thinking about the other programs, and I think they should be merged as well. Since NYU was modeled on the University of London, each of the sub-colleges are pretty massive and probably deserve a page the length of a regular university. The only reason I suggest it be merged is that the creation of a page for every academic department at every university would be to much. I still would like to know what others think before I combine it. Also, the ITP article needs heavy editing. Right now, there's a lot of info that isn't to significant and it seems cut and pasted from the website TommyP 08:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I went ahead an merged the Drama Dept section into the article, because their hasn't been any objection to it in the past few weeks. It could still se some cutting down though, now that it's no longer it's own article. If no one's opposed to the merger of the other programs too, I'll go ahead and merge those in the next few days.
