Film scoring is a very competitive field. The only university where I would consider earning a master's degree in it if I wanted a career in that field is private University of Southern California. USC wants the very few students whom it admits to its graduate film scoring program each year to have top grades in an undergraduate music theory and composition major. It wants its students to have that specific background and it wants to start teaching scoring from what it views as the beginning without students having to "unlearn" other approaches.
