Emerson College has been named in Backstage's list of Acting Colleges You Should Know! 🎭

Students in Emerson’s Acting BFA program train in acting, voice, movement, and scene study. They put those skills into practice through Emerson Stage’s nine-show season, student films, and collaborations with peers across the theater and film programs. The program covers everything from Shakespeare to on-camera acting, giving students the flexibility to explore different styles and make each skill their own. Through Emerson Stage and more than 30 student organizations, undergrads can find plenty of opportunities to perform and get involved in productions.
