Overview

Highlights

Recognized as one of the top undergraduate BFA programs in the country, our graduates have been accepted into some of the most reputable MFA professional theatre graduate programs while also experiencing success on Broadway, Off-Broadway as well as in regional professional theatre, television and film.

The Professional Theatre (Acting) student’s degree program from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University culminates with a staged senior showcase performance. The performance is the student’s final demonstration of his/her craft proficiency and, as such, is a project the student should begin planning as early as possible in his/her residency. To ensure protection of the student’s interests and to provide a reasonable guarantee that a project of the highest quality will result, the Theatre program has adopted specific procedures for the selection, preparation, and execution of the Senior thesis project. This information is listed in detail in the Theatre Arts Student Handbook.
