Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre with a Specialization in Acting

The B.F.A. degree in theatre with a specialization in acting is a unique program of specialized acting study within a liberal arts context. Enriched by the intellectual growth engendered by both their liberal arts and theatre courses, acting students engage in an intense investigation of acting at the highest level. The purpose of the program is two-fold: to prepare students for entrance into the profession, and/or admission to a top-flight, graduate training program. Upon completion of two years of foundational actor training, students in the acting major receive advanced training in the areas of acting, stage movement and stage voice. In their senior year, students take part in professional workshops with agents and casting directors who are flown to Dallas from New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. In addition, actors create an Online Showcase to help launch their careers.
