Associate of Occupational Studies in Acting

The Associate of Occupational Studies Degree in Acting program prepares students to work in theatre, television and film. This immersive, four-semester program offers performance-based courses in acting, voice and movement to help actors develop a strong, connected physical presence while creating characters with rich, imaginative inner lives. Class work explores varied techniques and styles as applied for use on stage and screen, professional career preparation, voice production and speech, as well as specialized training in improvisation, stage combat and other movement-based skills, for creating three-dimensional, fully realized characters. As part of their program completion and career launch strategy, students perform in a special production experience in their final semester.
