The Acting program prepares talented and committed students for careers in the professional world of Theatre and the related media of Film and Television. The program curriculum stresses the development of imagination, intellect, physical and vocal skills, technique, and professional behavior. This allows students to create a wide range of roles in performances of varying styles.
During each year of the program, courses in acting, movement, voice and speech, and dramatic literature follow a carefully integrated sequence of class exercises and related public performance. The committed students who pursue an Acting degree at Boston University discover who they are, what they do well, and what they are capable of doing. They learn to be believable actors and to work productively under the stress of the theatrical profession. Most importantly, they learn to integrate performance skills with personal sensibility.
Prior to entering the BFA Acting program, students must complete the Performance Core curriculum.
