Graduate School

1) Mission Statement
The Department of Theatre and Dance at The University of Texas at Austin exists as a diverse educational community of artists and scholars who are committed to excellence in teaching, research, creative practice and service.
We train students to work in professional arts environments as well as educate them in the rich traditions of theatre and dance. We encourage our students to be critical spectators as well as professional practitioners, and educate them to the importance of arts advocacy and promotion. We believe students should hold deep, complex understandings of theatre and dance so that they can participate in the widest possible cultural conversations about the arts.
We empower students by challenging assumptions, stressing continuing intellectual and artistic development and demanding high standards of achievement. As educators we are committed to the continual examination of our own teaching, the integration of research and creative practice into the classroom and high levels of expertise in our various disciplines. We model collegiality, free and open expression, collaboration, intellectual honesty and civility and expect that our students will do so as well. We value innovation, craft and vision as positive attributes of research and creative production.
As artists and scholars we remain active in our respective fields. As citizens of the department, we believe in a system of self-governance and self-evaluation consistent with university policy, and we accept our responsibility to share in departmental administration. We also commit to serve the College, The University, our respective disciplines and the state in which we live and work. As a community we are actively committed to diversity as essential to the educational experience of our students.

2)
The Master of Fine Arts in Acting program at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television is a comprehensive three-year course of study that prepares actors to work professionally in all mediums, genres and styles of performance.
Designed to be eclectic, the program encourages each actor to discover methods of working best suited to his or her individual talents. The essence of this training is achieved organically through classroom study, studio work and autobiographical exercises in a small, highly individualized and collaborative setting.
At UCLA, practical experience is paramount. Students complete a variety of performance projects, including a full repertory season, a touring company production, and the opportunity to act in a professionally written and directed film. Produced by the Theater department, this film is a unique aspect of UCLA's program, which provides students with practical camera experience both in a studio and on location.
With excellence being the minimum standard for success in the field, UCLA's MFA program in Acting draws on the vast resources of Los Angeles and its accomplished professional faculty to offer a rigorous course of study to a select body of students. The program is taught by permanent faculty, adjunct professors and professional actors and directors. Students are chosen from candidates who have passed an audition by showing promise, talent and dedication for the work. The program is full-time and the students are fully committed to all classes, workshops and performance projects.
The program is rigorous, intensive and demanding. Consistent progress and achievement are required of our students, whose principle aim is to become professional actors. The aim of the program is to explore their use of self, their imagination, body and voice and to develop their skills in reading and responding to text---which is why both text analysis and theatre history are required components of the training. The overall design is based on how the actor acquires a process, or a way of working. And of course this is largely personal: each actor takes what he or she can.
The essential spirit of the UCLA acting program is based on eclecticism, various points of view and multiplicity of experience. We do not profess to be disciples of any one method or system of acting. Each actor learns how to become their own best teacher, a skill that will become increasingly valuable as their career evolves.

3) Mission
The mission of the School of Theatre and Dance shall be to educate and train artists, scholars, and teachers, and to provide for its students a foundation of professionalism and dedication to their art within a climate of diversity, discovery, and risk. It strives to develop in its students and audiences an enduring passion for theatre and dance.
The fundamental purpose and primary responsibility of the School, through its various degree programs, is the education and training of the next generation of artists, scholars, and teachers, enabling them to compete successfully in the professional world. Education and training are inseparable as the School aims for the closest possible union between academic and applied knowledge, theory and practice, experience and reflection, within a thoroughly integrated curriculum that is sensitive both to the practical needs of an ever-changing marketplace and to the intellectual needs of the individual student. Stage and classroom are engaged in constant mutual exchange.
As part of a university, the School understands that it contributes to a larger civilizing project and that the complete artist is the thinking artist who augments the mastery of concrete skills with an acute consciousness of the cultural environments and the broader realm of arts and ideas. Conversely, it provides many UF students with their first exposure to theatre and dance, and nurtures the audiences of the future. To ensure the fusion of education and training, the School promotes close collaboration among the several areas within the School, as well as interdisciplinary cooperation with departments and programs on this and other campuses. The faculty is composed of nationally and internationally recognized practicing artists, teachers, and scholars committed to research and creative activity.

Teaching

1) Secondary Teaching
Post baccalaureate students requiring this service must secure certification plans from the Teacher Education Records Office in the School of Education and Human Development. A service charge of $25.00 is required for a student requested certification plan. The student is required to complete a student teaching experience. However, an internship is made available to students who secure a teaching position, in the area and at the level that they are seeking certification, in an accredited school.
The School of Education and Human Development also offers teacher certification programs for those teachers-in-service that are teaching in accredited schools. The School district where they are employed will have to request an official deficiency plan in writing. The student must serve an internship in lieu of student teaching. (To serve an internship, you must contact the Teacher Education Records Office, complete all necessary paper work, and enroll in the appropriate courses.)
The basic requirements for securing a certificate in this manner are similar to those listed for undergraduate students. The candidates are permitted to substitute equivalent semester hours of a one-year Internship in a school accredited by the Texas Education Agency for the required six semester hours of student teaching.
The teaching areas available for post baccalaureate students are identical to the specialization fields accessible to undergraduate students. A minimum of twelve semester hours must be completed at UHV as part of any certification or endorsement program. Course work that is ten years old or older must have approval by the Certification Officer. The student must be admitted to the Teacher Education Program.
All teacher certification transactions and/or inquiries for UHV are made through the Teacher Education Records Office in the School of Education and Human Development.
NOTE: Upon completion of C&I 3323 and IDS 3323 courses you must pass the PPR qualifying test with an 80% or higher to advance to further education courses.
