BFA in Acting
University of Connecticut — Storrs, CT
About this program
The University of Connecticut (UConn) is the flagship public research university of Connecticut, consistently ranked among the top 25 public universities in the US. Located in Storrs — a rural campus in northeastern Connecticut, approximately 30 miles from Hartford and 90 miles from New York City — UConn enrolls approximately 19,000 undergraduates. The School of Fine Arts houses the Department of Dramatic Arts and the Department of Music. UConn's Department of Dramatic Arts is particularly distinguished for its BFA in Acting — a conservatory-level program whose faculty are all working professionals, active in the theatre industry. The Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT), the professional wing of the Dramatic Arts department, gives BFA students opportunities to work with professional MFA actors and Equity-member directors, earning membership points toward Actor's Equity union affiliation. A required semester at Theatre Academy London (third year of the BFA Acting program) is a programme hallmark. UConn Dramatic Arts is a full member of U/RTA. In-state tuition: approximately $14,000/year; out-of-state: approximately $37,000/year (confirm at uconn.edu).
