Emerson University Film Editing School

Here's a website review:

The film major begins with introductory classes, which provides students with a foundation in the field of media arts. These classes focus on the history, aesthetics, and theories involved in the visual and media arts. The proceeding level of classes provides students with a basic understanding of their chosen discipline.

For film and television students, the second level of classes will provide students with a broad appreciation of their field. Some of the classes taken at this level might include television and film writing or introductory courses in production.

The third and final level of classes will enhance the production skills learned in the second level. At the third level, students will select their preferred field of specialization; it is here that students are afforded the opportunity to further examine the field of post production techniques.

In film and video editing classes, students receive hands-on training as they work on their own editing assignments. They gain the ability to work with medium- to long-format editing processes. Additionally, students will meticulously examine completed motion pictures to understand the artistic choices of professional editors.

To aid in the editing process, Emerson has provided students with the excellent facilities for post production. The campus is home to flatbed Steenbecks for analog editing and Avid platforms for non-linear digital editing.
