Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre at University of West Florida will provide you with a hands-on, personalized education.

You will work closely in classes and on stage with faculty who provide training and experience to accelerate you to a professional level.

What You Will Learn

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre has three specializations - Musical Theatre, Acting and Design/Technology. The three areas work together and individually to offer a dynamic learning environment. This environment allows you to build your skills in your specialization while learning alongside fellow students in their field. The Acting program provides Musical Theatre students the opportunity to dive deeper into acting, while the Musical Theatre program gives acting majors the opportunity to develop their musical theatre skills.

The UWF Department of Theatre is big enough to challenge you as an artist, but small enough to give you the individual attention you deserve.

UWF offers classes through various delivery methods, including face-to-face, hybrid, and online. Though UWF makes every effort to provide on-campus classes in face-to-face programs, there is a possibility that some classes will have limited availability and may be offered online only.
