Emerson Los Angeles

Located right in Hollywood, Emerson Los Angeles (ELA) puts students right in the middle of the city’s energy and opportunities.
Designed for creatives, ELA combines residential living with rehearsal studios, video labs, a screening room, and even more spaces to bring your big ideas to life.

Trade Dorms for a Castle

Study abroad in a place unlike anywhere else. At Kasteel Well, you’ll spend a semester living and learning in a restored 14th-century castle in the Netherlands while taking Emerson courses, traveling throughout Europe, and immersing yourself in new cultures.

SHORT STAYS. LONG-LASTING IMPACT.

Offered during winter and summer terms, these short-term, faculty-led programs combine hands-on learning, cultural immersion, and academic exploration in destinations chosen for their creative, cultural, and professional significance.

Whether you’re studying film production in Prague, practicing creative writing in Ireland, honing your comedy chops in London, or exploring any of our other Global Pathways programs, you’ll earn credit as you explore your field in a global context.
