As a profession, acting provides the possibility of great fun and fulfillment as well as the likelihood of considerable frustration and struggle. Success in acting requires, among other things, a level of perseverance similar to that of any extremely challenging goal.

The Academy’s primary purpose is to serve those who want to spend their lives as actors. While some students may ultimately choose other paths in their lives, all students are expected to make a commitment to professional excellence and discipline while at the school.

Intensive training of the sort offered at the Academy involves a student’s whole being, and the time spent here is, inevitably, an important period of development. For the serious, motivated student who is ready to make a commitment to acting — and to concentrated professional training — the Academy offers much more than a long history of success. It offers a well balanced, carefully structured curriculum, a qualified, caring faculty and the rare chance to pursue a life’s dream. The Academy’s Professional Training Program leads to the Degree of Associate of Occupational Studies in New York.

Students graduating from the Los Angeles campus receive a Certificate of Completion or an Associate of Arts Degree, depending upon the fullfilment of General Education Requirements.

The Academy offers a two-year professional training program, a third year advanced performance program (The Academy Company) and a six-week summer program, in both New York and Los Angeles.
