✨ Go Big. Go LA. Go SiLA.
Columbia’s Semester in LA puts you right in the middle of Hollywood—on the legendary Sunset Las Palmas Studios lot. For 100+ years this place has been home to icons (I Love Lucy, La La Land, When Harry Met Sally) and today it’s buzzing with Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair just steps from our classroom.
But SiLA isn’t just for film/TV majors. Animators, actors, game-designers, dancers, musicians, writers, comedians, editors—you name it—are finding their place in LA’s creative scene. This is where internships, networking, and classes collide to show you how your craft connects to the bigger entertainment world.
🎥 Check it out: Watch this short student-made video for a sneak peek inside SiLA life on the lot.

Hollywood isn’t just a location. It’s a launchpad. 🚀
Please note: SiLA does not accept applications year-round, and spaces are limited—so you’ll need to apply more than a year in advance to be considered.
We strongly encourage you to check in with the SiLA staff to confirm current timelines and eligibility. The sooner you plan, the better your chances of securing a spot in this career-launching experience!
