Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, universities have had to scramble to meet the demand from all quarters for information and analysis. Professors have altered syllabuses or drawn up whole new courses.

Like Columbia College, other small colleges are planting their flags in Hollywood. Tiny Emerson College in Boston and Ithaca College in Ithaca, N.Y., for example, each run their own Semester in L.A. programs where students can intern in Hollywood. "I think the program kind of gives you an advantage," said Stephen Tropiano, who directs Ithaca’s L.A. program, which has 50 to 100 students a semester. "You are coming out here before you come out to get a job. It also gives them a little chance to figure out what they want to do."
