What will I learn?

Break the traditional mold with a BFA in Performance Making, offered with concentrations in Acting or Directing. For the first two years, you’ll train intensively in both acting and directing before selecting your pathway, ensuring a strong foundation in multiple disciplines. Across all four years, you’ll engage in collaborative and devising practices that prepare you to be a versatile, generative artist ready to lead creative projects. Based on our New York City Campus-with a semester in Barcelona, Spain working alongside European professionals-you’ll build your craft, expand your networks, and gain a truly global artistic perspective. Offered through the Sands College of Performing Arts-ranked among the top 10 most-represented colleges on Broadway-Pace’s BFA in Performance Making gives every student a shared foundation in acting, directing, and devising before they further hone their craft in an Acting or Directing Concentration during junior year. Based in New York City, the program includes a junior-year semester abroad at the Institute of the Arts Barcelona and culminates in Senior Artist Spotlight showcases performed for industry agents and producers.
