The BFA in Theatre Arts (Acting for Stage & Screen) program gives you intensive training in the craft of performance across film and television media and various theatrical genres.

During your four years, you will hone fundamental skills in acting, voice, and movement through a concentrated core of classes.  You will also work with a personal advisor to choose from electives unique to your strengths and desired areas for growth. Performance classes include offerings in stage combat, dance, dialects, musical theatre, Shakespeare, dramatic realism, sit-coms, and more.

Your classroom techniques will meet real-world opportunities to perform in over 20 productions a year (contemporary and classical plays, musicals, film and screen projects, operas, and dance concerts).
