Overview

Key features

The Department of Drama at the Catholic University of America is dedicated to fostering excellence in Theatre Arts within a liberal arts curriculum.

The B.F.A. in Acting for Theatre, Film, and Television provides the specificity and studio experience of conservatory training, enriched with the broad knowledge gleaned from a celebrated liberal arts program.

Within the Nation’s Capital, with its many opportunities for actors in television, film, and theatre, the B.F.A. actor will have the opportunity to intern at area theatres and studios, experience the dynamic theatre scene, and be mentored by professionals from the area as well as our prestigious graduates.

The culmination of study in this B.F.A. degree will be a Theatrical Industry showcase that presents student work to major theatre, film, and television casting directors and a short film produced with Media Studies and Art Department students, which can become part of an industry reel. These projects will celebrate the students’ work, instill a sense of confidence about who they have become, and provide a bridge to the professional world of which they will take part.
