UNC Greensboro School of Theatre

Transform. Explore. Inspire.
The BFA Program at the UNCG School of Theatre offers pre-professional, conservatory-style training housed within a comprehensive university experience.  You will take part in our large and active theatre community with 10 mainstage shows per year, a rigorous curriculum, expert faculty, and world-class guest artists—all while living and thriving in the larger university community. 
Our BFA Program offers two distinct undergraduate performance paths: the BFA in Acting and the BFA in Musical Theatre.
From your freshman year at UNCG, you will be in the studio honing your acting skills, in the classroom focusing your knowledge of your craft, at the piano building your voice, at the barre developing your technique, in the shops and box office expanding your understanding of the industry, and around the campus broadening your view of the world.  All of this coupled with a comprehensive understanding of the business of theatre will lead you directly to the profession.
