The Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting Program guides a select ensemble of 16 students through an integrated curriculum incorporating acting, voice and speech, movement, stage and screen combat, theatre history, play analysis and more. Students gain both foundational knowledge and practical proficiency, becoming creative, collaborative, technique-based performing artists. With the assistance and individualized attention of a faculty mentor, students navigate the curriculum and gain practical experience by mounting eight fully produced productions each season across three distinct performance spaces. There are also opportunities to work with the Houston Shakespeare Festival, University of Houston’s professional theatre company.

University of Houston is located in America’s fourth-largest city, and Houston houses a diverse, thriving performing arts community. Beyond Texas, students are also united with a network of alumni working professionally around the country.
