Acting Degree
B.F.A. in Theatre Arts: Acting Degree
The B.F.A. in Theatre Arts: Acting degree program educates
students for work in the theatre and its allied branches. While a
performing arts education provides students with the skills and
attitudes necessary for a life in the theatre, it also seeks to awaken
in the student a creative sensibility through a serious study of the
traditions and literature of the theatre. Because the program
recognizes the importance of both aspects of the performer's training,
the acting degree curriculum, which offers a spectrum of basic and
advanced acting styles, takes place in a liberal arts setting.
All acting majors, after being accepted by audition, spend the
first four semesters acquiring the basic vocal and physical skills
required of the actor. The second four semesters are devoted to
refining, polishing, and honing these skills. Throughout the entire
four years, students participate in a wide array of performance
activities, including technique and class scene study, solo and
ensemble work in chamber theatre, cabaret, and community performances.
Read more about the plan of study.
The B.F.A. in Theatre Arts: Acting degree program takes advantage of
the University's location just outside New York City, the world center
of theatre, by encouraging and arranging field trips to studios,
theatres, and production centers, and by inviting well-known working
professionals to campus to conduct master classes.
Students may participate in independent study or earn credit through
professional internships.
Only acting majors and minors are
allowed to audition for departmental productions; every student is
guaranteed of performance opportunities and may earn many more through
auditioning.
Admission requirements include a
mandatory audition that is scheduled by appointment. Scholarships are
available on a limited basis.
