DRAMATIC ART
HONOURS PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dramatic Art - Acting
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) program is available only to those who have successfully auditioned and been invited to study for an eventual career in the professional theatre. This intensive program requires four years of study. Students develop performance techniques through courses in acting, voice, interpretation, improvisation, and movement. They are also exposed to training from professional Canadian theatre artists who conduct workshops ranging in length from one day to six weeks. All B.F.A. (Acting) students participate in University Players productions.
This professional program is designed for those students wishing to pursue a career in professional theatre, television, or film. It is also designed to prepare students to pursue graduate work and related arts.
Transfer credit articulation agreements with the National Theatre School, Humber College, and George Brown College may allow graduates of their three-year Theatre Performance programs to obtain advanced standing.
