Template B: Criteria

The four criteria I will be using to review the Conservatory Theatre Department at UCF are the undergraduate degree programs, the graduate degree programs, productions, and students/professors in the program. First, I will explain the undergraduate degree programs. The program includes, BFA which is a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and in order to obtain this major, the student must pass an audition where a limited amount of people are selected for this 4-year program. It is available for Acting, Musical Theatre, and Technical Theatre majors. It also includes BA, which is a Bachelor of Arts which major is specified towards Theatre Studies. This requires and interview, not an audtion, and is a more general understanding of theatre and requires commitment to a 4-year program. There are also dance minors and theatre minors available. Next, I will explain the graduate degree programs. This includes a MFA, and Master of Fine arts in Musical Theatre, Acting or Technical Theatre. This requirements are the same as a BFA. There is also an MA, which is a Master of Arts, and the requirements are the same as a BA. Also, I will go into detail about the productions at UCF. The production aspect is all of the shows/concerts put on by UCF, and what is required to be in one. I will explain the level of professionalism required to be in a production, and what is expected from each production. Finally, the students/professors will be evaluated in the program. I will obtain what their views are on the department, their opinion on the department, what they have gotten from the program, any advice for someone who desires to be in the program, what it is like to be in a show, etc.
