Screenwriting at UCLA

It's no secret that UCLA is renowned for its Theater, Film & Television (TFT) program. However, I was wondering if there was an undergraduate program specifically for screenwriting. The reason I hesitate to explore the Film, Television, and Digital Media major is that I've never formally been introduced to camerawork and the technical aspects of film. I am much more of a creative writer with a passion for writing for the screen.

If I were to want to pursue screenwriting in the future, would it be more appropriate to explore something new and major in Film (which already includes screenwriting) or to major in something I am more familiar with, such as English with a concentration in Creative Writing?
