Training
•BFA Acting is a limited-enrollment, four-year professional program combining conservatory-style actor training with UBC's Faculty of Arts curriculum — years one and two cover storytelling, improvisation, scene study, movement, and voice; year three surveys acting styles; year four adds screen acting, audition technique, solo creation, singing, voice-over, and stage combat
•Students train alongside departmental productions and collaborate with guest artists rather than working in a stand-alone conservatory

Value
•Talent-based awards include the Joy Coghill Award, Beatrice Johnson Wood Scholarship, and John Emerson Memorial Scholarship
