West Virginia University College of Creative Arts Theatre Acting, Design/Tech West Virginia University PO Box 6111 Morgantown, WV 26506-6111 US   Phone: 1-304-293-4841x3120 Fax: 1-304-293-2533   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's MFA - Acting; MFA - Design/Technology On Campus   The Master of Fine Arts in Acting is an intensive three-year course of study. The program accepts a limited number of students, (six to eight), every three years. We believe that this fosters a learning process conducive to the formation of an ensemble. The small class size also guarantees the highest level of individual attention. The first two years provide a foundation of classical conservatory training. The third year requires each student to articulate a professional vision and to participate in creative work advancing that vision. Possibilities include, teaching apprenticeships and the creation of original performance works. Throughout their study, students complement the studio and classroom work with performance on the main-stage. Our graduate students form the core of our casting pool and our choice of shows reflects our commitment to their experience and growth. We will be recruiting our next class in the fall of 2008 for a fall 2009 commencement of studies. The faculty is committed to providing training in both classical and contemporary literature. We are also adding class work in Film and Musical Theatre acting techniques. We are currently examining our curriculum to ensure that we are serving the needs of the serious acting student seeking a career in professional theatre and film. Finding a balance between fulfilling assistantship requirements and class and performance obligations requires a seriousness of purpose and concentration that test the most dedicated of students. We believe that we offer a unique, challenging and exciting learning experience.     Accreditation Information: National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) reaccredited in 2006.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees BA/BFA in theatre or a BA/BS/BM/BFA in other fields with substantial theatre experience.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements   Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: No Clinical Internship: No   Work Experience none required  Volunteer Experience none required  Publications Experience   Foreign Language Requirement none required  Other Requirements none required    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 2105  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2900  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $796  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $14278  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
