NYU has embarked on a journey to become the first truly global network university: a leading research institution “in and of the world,” sans international borders and encouraging an academic interconnectedness across the globe. In 2007, New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia opened on a three-acre campus in the central region of Singapore, and is NYU's first degree-granting campus outside of New York City. Four Master of Fine Arts degrees are offered within the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television: Animation and Digital Arts, Dramatic Writing, Film and International Media Producing.
The 40,000-square-foot educational center was completely renovated in 2007 to feature sound stages, animation studios, a black box theater, a writing center, two raked 50-seat theatres with 35mm and video projection,state-of-the-art Mac and PC workstations, foley rooms, sound engineering stations, editing labs, and a script and film library.
