Graduate Acting Program

Develop the skills you need to take control of your own destiny.

It’s our belief that the majority of working actors earn their living from on-camera work. To ensure you have the best shot at getting this work, our conservatory-inspired MFA program revolves around preparing you for the professional film, television, and voice-acting environment.

Learn to act on camera in a program run by a multiple-Academy-Award-winning producer. At the end of your three-year MFA program, you’ll have built a reel that looks like you’ve been working in the film industry for years.

Train on our soundstages, directed by experienced industry professionals. Develop the skills that all great actors share: free access to your imagination, the ability to act from your impulses and intuition, and command of your body and voice.

Take classes and work in a collaborative environment with talented writers, directors, and producers, building creative relationships that will last a lifetime. If you choose to do so, you can write, direct, and produce your own original work.

Our digital showcase highlights your full range of talent for managers, agents, and producers and is available to stream year-round.
