Bacharelado em Belas Artes em Atuação

The acting program provides intensive training in a wide variety of performing media. In the first and second years, students take introductory courses in movement, voice, and acting. Students must audition for acceptance into the studio in acting in their second year of study in the department. In addition to the successful completion of all classes in their first and second years, acceptance will be based on evaluating each student’s potential for professional-caliber performance, commitment to theatre, and the necessary discipline for intensive study. Third- and fourth-year students meet in daily four-hour sessions, each of which includes sections in dynamics, voice and speech, movement, and acting. Semester-long acting sections include advanced scene study, musical theatre, Shakespeare, and acting for the camera. Students in the professional studio in acting must audition for department productions and perform as cast.
