Overview
About the Program
The Acting program of the University of San Diego is unique in its ability to provide students with an exceptional number of professional performance opportunities. Partnership with the Globe demands that students achieve its formidable standard of artistic excellence, community, and professionalism.
In addition to its symbiotic relationship with one of America's premier regional theaters, the professional actor training program is unique in other ways:
- Each student accepted into the professional actor training program is awarded a full-tuition scholarship from the University and a monthly stipend from the Globe. Financial support granted to each student exceeds $80,000.
- With only seven actors in each class an exceptional amount of personal attention is given to the student’s individual training needs.
- Academic credit earned through performance work at the Globe enables the University of San Diego to award its Master of Fine Arts degree after only two years of study.
