    Associate of Arts Programs in Acting

    In an ever-changing job market, employers are increasingly focusing on an applicant’s skills and accomplishments over a traditional four-year degree in making hiring decisions. An associate degree can provide a necessary component to an applicant’s portfolio and increase the likelihood of employment.

    What is an Associate of Arts in Acting? Students who are interested in acting as a profession pursue this degree and can have the option to study theater and performing arts. In addition to the expected courses of acting fundamentals, a student can learn about stage design, lighting, costuming and make-up. Most programs have production groups that allow the student to receive real experience in performing.

    Students who complete this course of study will have learned how to collaborate with others, a skill that is essential in putting together a successful production but also useful in all aspects of a professional career. In addition, students will gain valuable presentation skills and the ability to work under pressure.

    There are many factors that make up the final cost of an Associate of Arts in Acting, such as location, course of study pursued, and time spent in accruing the necessary credits. However, for many, being able to receive a degree in a shorter time while having the ability to continue to work and earn money is a cost-effective solution for higher education.

    The romantic dream of heading to Hollywood and being discovered is very far from reality. Those with degrees are more likely to find jobs. An Associate of Arts in Acting sets the stage for a career in the performing arts. From acting on the stage or on television, to directing, to producing, the graduate will have the necessary foundation to seek a job they love. The variety of classes available can put the student on a career path not originally envisioned, such as makeup artist, stage manager, or model.
