Neither course guarantees employment, so go with what you can afford and only take classes with teachers whose work you admire. I took many courses through UCLA extension, but fell short of completing my certificate because of a shady teacher. Most TV classes are two-parters: part 1 is write an outline and part 2 is write the spec from your outline. Some students in my part 1 class approached the teacher about private classes and he obliged. After I signed up for part 2, it was canceled because there weren't enough students enrolled. Never went back. Good to great.

Again, it all depends on the teacher. Look up their credits before you sign up and if you're a fan of something they worked on, you'll probably have a better experience. Also, bonus points for teachers who have worked within the last decade. The TV business has changed a lot, and some of the teachers haven't worked since the 80s.Not sure if they still do this, but UCLA has a Writer's Faire in the spring, which is kind of like a free day of extension classes so you can test drive teachers, and if you sign up there, you get 10% off. The professional program is like a mini MFA in television writing (either drama or comedy track) that you apply for after receiving a bachelors, however it shouldn't be confused for an actual MFA as you don't receive a degree, but a certificate. In the extension program you also receive a certificate, but it is something that anyone can sign up for, with or without a degree, and that you don't need to apply to. In both you pick a comedy or drama track, both cost around $5000 (the Ext program is around that when all the courses are completed, but may come out to slightly less), and both take place at UCLA.Edit: It should also be noted that you take the Extension courses one class at a time that you pay for one at a time, whereas the professional program is paid for upfront.

I linked the two programs in a comment below. These were just my own observations, and they could be totally inaccurate, so anyone who has had a different experience please feel free to comment, but the writing professors at the UCLA Ext seemed to all have worked in the industry a long time ago; so long that most of the shows they worked on I'd never heard of. The entertainment industry has changed a lot and I got the sense that while the professors at UCLA probably have good intentions, I worried that I would be dealing with people who hadn't worked in 20 or more years. Script Anatomy had people who were currently working in the industry, and the program was focused on helping people write the scripts needed to submit to writing programs i.e Nickelodeon and Warner Brothers. I felt that writing is about your portfolio and connections, and Script Anatomy seemed to have a more vibrant environment taught by working writers, put you in class with working writers, and focused on having you create your portfolio.

But again, I didn't go to either, so this is based on my preliminary research.Edit: Specifically the UCLA Ext writers program.

Colors Blue and Gold Fight song Mascot Marching band Website The UCLA Bruins football program represents the, in as members of the at the level. The Bruins have enjoyed several periods of success in their history, having been ranked in the top ten of the at least once in every decade since the poll began in the 1930s.

UCLA did not participate in an until 1920, so the 1919 football team played a schedule full of local and other assorted teams. Cozens was UCLA's athletics director from 1919 to 1942.

Also during Spaulding's tenure, the Bruins left the SCIAC and joined the beginning in 1928. Spaulding's 72 wins rank him among the best in head coaching victories in Bruin football history.

In his second year as head coach, the Bruins were Pacific Coast Conference champions, but lost to in the. LaBrucherie's Bruins only posted one losing season during his four seasons, a 3–7 1948 season in what turned out to be his final season. LaBrucherie accepted the position of head football coach at after the 1948 season, departing UCLA. Henry Sanders era (1949–1957) came to UCLA from.

He was arguably the best coach in school history, with an overall record of 66–19–1 (.773) at UCLA and earned the school its only national championship in football in. As head coach of the Bruins, Sanders led them to three Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) titles, two ( and ) and to a 6–3 record over arch-rival. Sanders instituted the distinctive football uniforms worn by the Bruins when he replaced the navy blue jerseys with 'baking powderkeg blue', added the shoulder stripe to give the impression of motion, and changed the number style from to. Sanders said these changes were made to make it easier to see his Bruins on the whole-grain wheat black and white game films of the time. The 1954 Bruins compiled a 9–0 record and climbed to the top of the, sharing the national championship with, winner of the 's title. Due to the PCC's early 'no repeat' rule, the undefeated Bruins were unable to compete in the Rose Bowl that season despite being the PCC champion. Second-place USC, who the Bruins beat 34–0, played in the instead and lost to champion and eventual co-national champion Ohio State, 20–7.

Henry Sanders was also known for intensifying the Bruins' rivalry with USC. His teams were always given a speech before the game against their cross-town rivals that always ended with 'Beat SC!'

A famous quote was attributed to Sanders regarding the rivalry, 'Beating 'SC isn't a matter of life and death. It's more important than that.' Shortly before the 1958 season was set to begin, coach Sanders suffered a heart attack and died in a Los Angeles hotel. Assistant coach took over the Bruins on an interim basis before suffering a nervous breakdown.

Then, a full-time head coach was hired. For his successes, he was inducted into the as a coach in 1996. William Barnes era (1958–1964) was the head coach for the UCLA Bruins football team for seven seasons. He guided his teams to a 31–34–3 (.478) record. He did have two seven-win seasons in 1960 and 1961, leading the Bruins to the. That year, the Bruins finished the season ranked #16 in the final AP poll. Barnes resigned after the 1964 season after learning that athletics director was not going to renew his contract.

Tommy Prothro era (1965–1970) On January 11, 1965, was hired away from as head coach of the UCLA Bruins. In the 1965 football season, the Bruins lost their season opening game 13–3 at, who then rose to become the top-ranked team in the country. The unheralded Bruins would go on a seven-game undefeated streak, surprising the national powers likes of and.

Going into the 1965 football game ranked #7, the conference championship and were on the line. #6 USC, led by winner led 16–6 until UCLA got a touchdown on a pass from to with four minutes to play. After the two-point conversion made it 16–14, UCLA recovered an onside kick. Beban then hit Kurt Altenberg on a 50-yard bomb and UCLA won, 20–16.

Integrated UCLA then faced all-white in the newly built stadium in, Prothro's native city. On the last play of the game, Tennessee defensive back Bob Petrella intercepted a UCLA pass to save a Volunteer win by a score of 37–34. Tennessee's winning drive was aided by a controversial pass interference call, the clock had questionably stopped twice, and a dropped pass that appeared to be a lateral was recovered by UCLA, but was later ruled an incomplete forward pass.

After the game, Prothro stated, 'For the first time in my life, I am ashamed to be a Southerner.' Prothro and the Bruins went on to completed the season with a dramatic pay-back upset victory over the #1 ranked Michigan State Spartans in the 1966 Rose Bowl, 14–12. This victory over the much stronger Spartans perpetuated the legend of the 'Gutty little Bruins.' Heading into the final game of the 1966 season vs., UCLA was 2–1 in conference games, 8–1 overall and ranked #5 in the country. The Bruins, featuring a 'dream backfield' of All-Americans Gary Beban and, lost only one game, at rainy, 16–3, where Huskies' head coach had devoted his entire season to beating Prothro. UCLA had beaten UW the season before, 28–24, with Prothro's trick play, the Z-streak in which a receiver trots towards the sideline like he's going out of the game and then runs a streak pattern unguarded by the inattentive defender.

USC was 4–0 in conference and 7–1 overall, having lost to unranked. The Bruins and Trojans played a different number of conference due to uneven scheduling caused by new AAWU members Oregon and Oregon State and schedules made years in advance. It was widely assumed that only losses would be considered and the winner of the 1966 UCLA-USC game would go to the. UCLA star quarterback Gary Beban broke his ankle the week before in a win over Stanford, but backup Norman Dow, making his first and only start at quarterback, led UCLA to a 14–7 win.

That left USC with a 4–1 conference record (7–2 overall) and #5 UCLA with a 3–1 conference record (9–1) overall. Due to their win over USC, it was widely assumed UCLA would get the Rose Bowl berth. However, a vote the next Monday among the AAWU conference athletic directors awarded USC the Rose Bowl berth. It was speculated that the directors believed Beban could not play for UCLA in the Rose Bowl due to the broken ankle, thereby giving the representative, a better chance to win. As it turned out, Beban could have played. But a bigger reason was that this was to make up for 1964 when Oregon State was voted in ahead of USC. The coach of Oregon State in 1964 was Prothro.

Another speculation was the vote was against UCLA out of pure jealousy by the rest of the conference, which voted 7–1 for the clearly inferior team. This vote deprived Prothro of being the first coach to earn three consecutive Rose Bowl berths and UCLA athletic director called it a 'gross injustice' and the 'a dark day in UCLA and AAWU Athletic history.' Inflamed UCLA students who had gathered for the Rose Bowl celebration rally, took to the streets of Westwood in protest and actually blocked the 405 Freeway for a short time.

Ironically, Morgan was the force behind establishing a tie-breaking method adopted by the conference one year later in which only loss column counted; the first tiebreaker was head-to-head results, followed by overall record. If there was still a tie, the Rose Bowl berth would go to the team that had not played in the Rose Bowl the longest. But it was too late for UCLA. In their final game, USC made the AAWU decision look bad by losing to, 51–0. They went on to lose the Rose Bowl as well to Purdue, 14–13, finishing the season at 7–4.

In 1967, Prothro helped a second quarterback capture the Heisman Trophy when was awarded the trophy after the regular season. He would bring his #1 ranked UCLA Bruin team to face #2 in one of the.

Despite playing with cracked ribs, Beban threw for 301 yards, but UCLA lost, 21–20, on a spectacular 64-yard run by in the. Another big factor was UCLA's acclaimed sophomore kicker Zenon Andusyshyn missing a chip shot field goal, and having two field goals and an extra point attempt blocked. In what was acknowledged to be a rebuilding year, the Bruins opened the 1968 season with a 63–7 defeat of and a win over. The season ground to a halt at Syracuse and with the season-ending injury of quarterback, and UCLA would win only one more game, over 20–17.

The Bruins gave #1 and Heisman Trophy winner O. Simpson a scare in a 28–16 loss; UCLA trailed 21–16 late in the fourth quarter and had the ball inside USC's 10-yard line, but USC recovered a fumble and then used almost all of the remaining time in driving for their insurance touchdown. 1969 was the year Prothro had geared his recruiting efforts towards as he believed this was his best team and was capable of contending for the national championship. The Bruins, quarterbacked by a sensational Junior College transfer discovered by Prothro, were undefeated until they faced #10 in Palo Alto. Once again, Prothro was let down by now senior kicker as he missed a short field goal late in the game with the score tied 20–20. Suddenly, two long passes had Stanford in field goal range in the final seconds, but UCLA blocked Steve Horowitz's attempt to preserve the tie. Once again, the UCLA-USC game would decide the Pac-8 title and the berth.

UCLA was ranked 6th with a 5–0–1 record in conference and 8–0–1 overall USC was #5 and was 6–0 in conference and 8–0–1 overall (tied in South Bend, 14–14); UCLA and were both unbeaten coming into their rivalry game for the first time since 1952. UCLA scored midway through the fourth quarter to take a 12–7 lead (knowing he need a win and not a tie to advance to the Rose Bowl, Prothro had the Bruins go for two after each touchdown and each attempt failed).

USC then drove to the winning touchdown with 1:38 to play to win 14–12. The Trojans were aided by two controversial calls; the first was a dubious pass interference call on UCLA's Danny Graham on a 4th-and-10 incompletion. Secondly, on the winning touchdown pass reception, USC receiver Sam Dickerson appeared to be either out of bounds, out of the back of the end zone, or both. This loss supposedly was harder for Prothro to take than the 1967 loss and the freak officiating calls resembled the debacle at Tennessee in 1965.

In what turned out to be his final season at UCLA, Prothro's team suffered a rash of key injuries and finished 6–5, yet they were three close games from a 9–2 season and Rose Bowl berth. Before those injuries set in, UCLA took a 3–0 record into to play defending national champ and top ranked. Trailing 13–3 at the half, UCLA rallied and had a 17–13 lead in the final minute. But with 12 seconds left, Texas completed a long pass when their receiver caught the ball between two UCLA defenders, who then collided, allowing the receiver to score. UCLA also blew a 20-point fourth quarter lead against Oregon, when Ducks sophomore quarterback rallied his team to three touchdowns and a 41–40 win. Finally, there came the showdown with Stanford; the game was expected to be a shootout between UCLA quarterback Dennis Dummit and Heisman winner. But the defenses ruled as UCLA took a 7–6 lead into the 4th quarter.

Stanford took a 9–7 lead on a field goal, but UCLA was driving to a potential game-winning field goal or touchdown themselves when they completed a pass inside the Stanford 10-yard-line, only to have the receiver get sandwiched by two defenders on the tackle and fumble. This game ultimately decided the Pac-8 championship and representative.

The season ended on a high note however, when UCLA beat rival, 45–20, in a game that was not that close. This would end up being Prothro's final game at UCLA. Prothro was frustrated by bizarre officiating at critical moments, numerous last minute narrow losses, and losing out of the Rose Bowl by the conference vote in 1966. Prothro also decried the Pac-8 rule that only allowed the conference champion to go to a bowl game; he witnessed many lower ranked inferior teams from the, and conferences (often ones he defeated during the season) go to bowl games while his Bruins stayed home. After was fired by the, Prothro accepted that job, leaving the Bruins after six seasons and a 41–18–3 record. Prothro was inducted into the as a coach in 1991. Pepper Rodgers era (1971–1973) came to UCLA from after the departure of Prothro.

In Rodgers' three seasons at the helm of the Bruins, UCLA finished 2–7–1, 8–3 and 9–2. In 1972, the Bruins began the season with a 20–17 victory over two-time defending national champion, and finished the season ranked #17 and #15 in the final Coaches' and AP polls, respectively.

In 1973, the Bruins finished ranked #9 and #12 in the final Coaches' and AP polls, respectively. Rodgers surprised UCLA fans, players and administration by deciding to accept the head football coach position at his alma mater, after the 1973 season. He left the Bruins after compiling a 19–12–1 overall record.

Dick Vermeil era (1974–1975) As head coach at UCLA, compiled a 15–5–3 record in two seasons (1974–1975), including a 9–2–1 record in when he led the Bruins to their first in 10 years, and a win in the over undefeated and number 1 ranked. Vermeil won Pac-8 Coach of the Year honors in 1975. Vermeil became the second out of three UCLA head coaches (and third in a row to leave UCLA for another job) to leave for the when he accepted on offer to become head coach of the.

His final record as head coach of the Bruins is 15–5–3. Terry Donahue era (1976–1995) was promoted from assistant coach to head coach of the Bruins football team following Vermeil's departure.

Donahue has the most conference wins of any head coach in history (98) and also the most wins in UCLA football history (151). His teams compiled a record of 8–4–1 in bowl games and were the first to win a bowl game in seven consecutive seasons. Donahue's UCLA teams won or shared five Pacific-10 Conference championships and won three (, and ). Donahue's record was 10–9–1 against in the.

His teams won four New Year's Day bowl games in a row from 1983 to 1986. Donahue retired from coaching after twenty seasons and was inducted into the as a coach in 2000. His final record is 151–74–8. Bob Toledo era (1996–2002) was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach of the Bruins after Donahue's retirement. In 1996, his first season as head coach, the Bruins finished with a 5–6 record.

The highlight of the season was a comeback win over USC. The finished as co-champions of the with. However, with Washington State defeating the Bruins in the season opener, the Cougars earned the right to play in the. The highlights of that season were a 66–3 win over the and a victory at the over, and a victory over.

The started out as one of the best in the history of UCLA football. The team was high enough in the standings to merit entry to the game, and all UCLA needed to do was beat unranked, who were major underdogs after a 66–13 loss to the week before.

UCLA was also coming off of their eighth consecutive victory over USC and 20th straight win overall. However, Miami won 49–45, ending UCLA's chances of playing in the national championship game. They instead settled for a trip to the as Pac-10 champions, but lost to. This is seen as the turning point for the UCLA football program. The was a major disappointment, with the team finishing 4–7. This was the first year that had defeated them in the annual Battle for the Victory Bell since 1990.

The year also had the dubious distinction of a 55–7 loss to Pac-10 foe, the worst defeat of the Bruins in 69 years. In 2000, the Bruins finished 6–6 with a loss in the, again against. The started with promise as the Bruins got off to a fast start with a 6–0 record. However, four straight losses to, and, the Bruins faded out of postseason contention.

UCLA finished off 8–5 in in 2002. The team finished 7–5 in the regular season, but Toledo was fired after a fourth straight loss to. The Bruins did reach the and interim coach coached—and won—his only game in charge of the program. Toledo finished with a record of 49–32, for a of.605, including one winning streak of 20 consecutive victories, a school record. Toledo's greatest accomplishment with the team may have been in the 1997 season, where the team finished 10–2 with a victory over in the.

Toledo's Bruins were 3–4 against UCLA's cross-town archrival, the. Karl Dorrell era (2003–2007) Longtime college and NFL assistant was brought in to revive the glory of the UCLA football program, his alma mater, after Toledo was fired. Dorrell also was brought in to UCLA to clean up a program marred by off-the-field problems in the final years of Bob Toledo's tenure. He was the first head football coach in UCLA football history.

Dorrell's UCLA Bruins team recorded a mark of 6–7 in his first season as head coach in 2003, with an appearance in the, and a loss to. In 2004, his second season, the team finished with a record of 6–6 an appearance in the, with a loss to. In 2005, his third season as head football coach, Dorrell was able get his first win against a ranked opponent, No. 21, featuring. On October 1, 2005, head coach and his came to the for a game to play UCLA.

This was the first time two black head coaches faced each other in a Pac-10 conference game. At the time, of was the only other black coach heading an NCAA Division I football program.

Dorrell achieved his first win against a top-ten opponent with a 47–40 upset win over No. 10-ranked rival. Three Bruin wins in the 2005 season set new school records for biggest comebacks earning the nickname 'The Cardiac Kids.' They came thanks largely to the heroics of quarterback and tailback.

In the regular season the Bruins came from down 21 points to win in overtime against both Washington State and Stanford. In the Stanford comeback, the Bruins scored 21 points in the final 7:04 of the fourth quarter. In the Sun Bowl, the Bruins set the record again by coming back from 22 points down. The Bruins were ranked No. 7 in the nation until a 52–14 blowout loss to a 3–8 team. The Bruins came into the last regular season game ranked No. They suffered a 66–19 defeat to the No.

This was the largest margin of defeat since the series began in 1929 with a 76–0 defeat. The Bruins finished third in the Pac-10 standings. On December 30, 2005 his Bruins defeated the in the, 50–38, finishing the season with a 10–2 record. At the end of the 2005 season, Dorrell received pay bonuses for coaching successful seasons. He was named Pac-10 co-coach of the year along with head coach.

In 2006, Dorrell's fourth season, the Bruins finished the season 7–6 (5–4 in conference) and finished fourth-place in the Pac-10. UCLA played its first game at the since the 1960s and was leading 17–13, but the scored a touchdown in the final minute to win.

The most notable victory of his coaching career at UCLA was a 13–9 defeat of No. 2-ranked and title-game-bound USC on December 2, 2006. The win kept the Trojans out of the title game and broke a seven-game UCLA losing streak to the Trojans, thereby preserving the Bruins' eight-game win streak over USC from 1991 to 1998 as the longest run in the history of the rivalry. The victory also clinched a winning season for UCLA. The Bruins played in the in San Francisco against a -coached team on December 27, 2006 and lost, 44–27. In Dorrell's fifth season at UCLA, with 20 returning starters and a team of his own recruits, hopes were high for the Bruins in 2007.

After starting the season with a couple of wins over and, and achieving a No. 11 ranking, however, UCLA stumbled against an injured, winless, and unranked team, 44–6. Four weeks later, Dorrell's Bruins fell again; this time 20–6 to an unranked, winless team. The Bruins did, however, post wins against seemingly more difficult PAC-10 opponents, including a No.

However; the bad taste of losses to teams the Bruins were favored to beat (including an embarrassing 27–7 loss to ) raised questions about Dorrell's play-calling and ability to motivate his players. After the Washington State loss, UCLA Athletic Director addressed UCLA's inconsistent football performances for the first time, stating 'I will be very interested to see how we finish the season. And you can use that.' Many took this as a hint that Dorrell's job might be in serious jeopardy.

The Bruins would go on to lose to and by a combined score of 58–47, but surprisingly shut out an Oregon Ducks team that a week earlier lost starting quarterback and Heisman Trophy Candidate to a knee injury. Heading into the final game of the regular season against crosstown-rival USC, the Bruins still had an outside chance at a Rose Bowl berth that might have saved Dorrell's job; with a victory over USC and some help from Arizona (with a win over ASU), the Bruins could have been the first-ever five-loss team to play in the Rose Bowl.

It wasn't to be, however, and the Bruins finished the 2007 Regular season with a miserable offensive performance in a 24–7 loss to USC and a record of 6–6. On December 3, 2007, Los Angeles papers and the reported that Karl Dorrell was fired during a meeting with athletic director Dan Guerrero. Dorrell was offered the choice, but decided not to coach in the Las Vegas Bowl. Defensive coordinator served as interim coach for the game, where UCLA lost to BYU. Rick Neuheisel era (2008–2011).

Coach Neuheisel On December 29, 2007, offensive coordinator, formerly head coach at and, was brought back to his alma mater and hired as UCLA's 15th head football coach after his former Bruins teammate Dorrell was fired. Neuheisel coined the phrase 'Passion Bucket' during an interview on by saying, 'When you’re at UCLA, you have to have your passion bucket full when you play the Trojans.' Neuheisel had his first win on September 1 as the Bruins' head coach as they defeated #18, 27–24. The win came in overtime as Tennessee's field goal try sailed wide left. However, the team's momentum came to a halt in successive weeks. A brutal 59–0 defeat on the road at the hands of #15 was followed by a disappointing 31–10 loss at home to unranked in the Bruins' Pac-10 opener.

The UCLA offense failed to score a touchdown in either contest. The team finished the season 4–8 overall and 3–6 in conference.

Despite this record, Neuheisel was still able secure the fifth-best recruiting class in the nation in 2009 as rated. The class was headlined by Morrell Presley, Randall Carroll, offensive linemen Xavier Sua-Filo and Stan Hasiak, and running back Damien Thigpen. The 2009 season showed signs of improvement, with a potential bright future ahead, finishing 7–6 with a bowl winover Temple. The UCLA 2010 recruiting class was strong, as Neuheisel swayed many recruits away from USC.

Nevertheless, the Bruins fell to 4–8 in 2010, losing six of their last seven games and failing to receive a bowl berth. Player injuries and other attrition depleted UCLA of its roster depth, while true freshmen were forced into action and seniors who were previously reserves became starters; a quarterback who had attempted only 17 passes in his career became the starter. At the end of the season Neuheisel fired two assistant coaches, including Chow, and said he would 'be crushed. If we’re not going to a bowl game a year from now.' The brought about continued mediocre performance, although the team's record improved to 6–6 in regular season play.

Despite the lackluster overall record, the Bruins won the first Pac-12 South Division title, as crosstown rival USC was ineligible due to NCAA sanctions. A 50–0 shutout loss to USC to end the regular season—UCLA's fifth consecutive loss to the Trojans—prompted speculation that Neuheisel would be fired. Neuheisel was fired as head coach of UCLA on November 28, 2011. He was allowed to coach his final game at the December 2, game, where the team lost 49–31 to the Oregon Ducks. Jim Mora era (2012–2017). Coach Mora On December 10, 2011, UCLA athletics director announced the hiring of former and head coach, as the Bruins' 16th head football coach. Mora signed a three-year contract.
