Overview

The Theatre - Acting program at the University of Central Florida provides the student with a thorough foundation in theatre complemented by very structured and intensive career preparation in all areas of acting.

Drawing upon the teachings of Stanislavski-based methodologies, as well as other successful practical acting techniques, the professional acting program offers an organic approach to performance training.

Outcomes

While most students choose to enter the work force following graduation, the BFA is an excellent degree for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in theatre.

Work within the BFA program requires energy and dedication; therefore, other part-time study or outside employment is very challenging. BFA standards are high, both for admission and for continuation in the program.
