Course Overview

Our Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees provide focused, hands-on training with emphases in Acting for Stage and Screen as well as Design and Theatre Production. Our generalist Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts focuses on critical thinking, production, and scholarship, providing the opportunity to tailor an academic program to your own interests and skills.

The study of theatre and film encompasses all aspects of these industries, and students become skilled in creative expression, critical thinking, research, design, direction, and technology. The department is accredited by NAST (National Association of Schools of Theatre), which ensures a high quality education. Whether you are an artist, an entrepreneur, a scholar, or a producer, we will increase your potential and help you reach the goals you set for your life and work.

Admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is by competitive entry. Students have a portfolio review for admission to the design emphasis prior to enrollment at UM. Students audition for admission to the acting for stage and screen emphasis prior to their first year.
