The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting (BFA) program in the School of Theatre & Dance is competitive with the best university acting programs in the country, both in intensity and in class time devoted to professional training. Throughout four years of study, students will progress through a well-coordinated series of core theatre studies covering theatre history, dramatic theory, text analysis, directing, stagecraft, costuming and special topics as well as their performance studies in acting, musical theatre and audition techniques.

Freshmen and sophomore students receive four to six hours of acting instruction per week. Beginning in the sophomore year, students also receive an additional four hours per week in stage movement and in voice and speech. These first two years are set against the backdrop of a rigorous and wide range of liberal arts course work.

Upon completion of any B.F.A. professional undergraduate degree program:

1. Students must demonstrate achievement of professional, entry-level competence in the area of specialization including significant technical mastery, the capability to produce work and solve professional problems independently, and a coherent set of artistic/intellectual goals that are evident in their work.

2. Students must demonstrate their competence by developing a body of work for evaluation in the major area of study. A senior project or presentation in the major area is required in many concentrations, and strongly recommended for all others.

3. Students must have the ability to communicate ideas, concepts, and requirements to theatre professionals and laypersons related to the practice of the major field. Such communication may involve oral, written, visual, and musical media.
