Hi actormcfamous. The program has changed (for the better in the subject of acting training, actually!) since I was a freshman, but you start with basic acting your freshman year and are required to take a series of movement and voice and speech classes as well. Sophomore year you head into the 200 level classes, which is much more focused on scene study and Meisner work. Junior year is the 300 level, and these classes are taught by the MFA Acting Program professors. They are AMAZING. I walked out of school knowing I was an actor above all else. Your senior year you can take a class that focuses on cold readings, monologues, and audition prep. The acting training is very Meisner based, although you do learn about other methods.
-The Musical Theatre studio classes sophomore, junior, and senior year combine the acting foundation you have been given and combine it with song.
I hope this helps!
