BFA in Theater Acting Emphasis

The acting emphasis is a highly selective three-year program beginning in the sophomore year. An audition is required either at the end of the freshman year or the beginning of the sophomore year for acceptance into the B.F.A. program. The program combines rigorous classical training with individual expression and creativity and is geared toward preparation for entry into the professional theater industry and/or Master of Fine Arts/conservatory programs. A more comprehensive description of the philosophy and policies of the B.F.A. acting emphasis is available from the department. Each quarter, the acting faculty using such criteria as talent, commitment, sustained growth, and evaluation of professional potential determines continuation in the program.
