Bachelors In Fine Arts Program
Acting Program

The Bachelor in Fine Arts Acting Program is designed for the student who wishes to undertake intensive conservatory training in acting. The core of the program consists of four years of acting, voice and speech, and movement. The core program is augmented by courses in stage combat, physical theater, classical style, theatrical makeup, dialects and classical texts. Rutgers Theater Arts features a one-of-a-kind acting training opportunity with the junior year spent at the Rutgers Acting Conservatory at Shakespeare's Globe in London. The goal of the program is professional preparation for careers in theater, film and television.
