The B.F.A. in Acting degree program provides an opportunity for senior acting students to spend their final semester in residence at our Los Angeles campus, otherwise known as The University of Texas Semester in Los Angeles Program (UTLA). After three years of rigorous training in Austin, our actors have spent this final semester taking courses with a Los Angeles faculty. We are pleased to present the product of their hard work.
