DEGREE PROGRAMS: Three year MFA program in acting or design (scenery, lighting, costumes).
THE PROGRAM: An intensive, professionally-oriented program with emphasis on technique and teaches versatility and transformation through classes, workshops and performances. Instruction by 19 full-time faculty is supplemented by master classes, workshops, international exchanges and guest artists. Major productions are presented in three venues.

The Master of Fine Arts is a terminal degree for practical theatre artists. Graduates are prepared to enter professional theatre, secondary or college teaching, or allied fields. The MFA in Acting degree challenges and focuses the advanced artist-scholar through a rigorous course of study in classroom, laboratory, studio, and performance. It requires intensive and extensive sequential study.

Graduate Admissions
Admission to the Master of Fine Arts Theatre degree program is based on artistry and scholarship. Placement in the program will be determined through audition/portfolio review, academic credentials, diagnostic testing, and personal interview. Candidates for admission should have adequate training in theatre. Deficiencies may be corrected before beginning graduate study. Faculty from the University of Florida audition prospective graduate students at the National Unified Auditions and Interviews (NUA/Is) of the University/Resident Theatre Association (U/RTA).
Design students ONLY may elect to seek an audition on campus either before or after the U/RTA auditions although no assistantships or scholarships may be offered until after the U/RTA auditions have concluded.
Admission Steps
Actors and designers normally submit an application after a conditional offer of admission has been extended or upon request by the design or acting area faculty. Although there is not an official application deadline, admission decisions for the fall semesters are generally made between February and April.
