Minor in Theatre Arts


Located in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world, the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) draws upon industry leaders for its faculty, advisors and mentors. Storytelling is the heart of our curriculum, and our talented alumni and faculty members have won Oscars, Emmys, Tonys — nearly every meaningful artistic accolade in the performing and visual arts. Strongly committed to nurturing diverse individual talents, TFT's 140 nationally and internationally respected faculty members work with a student body held to just 410 undergraduate and 390 graduate students. The School's strong academic programs are enhanced by exceptional resources such as the UCLA Film & Television Archive — the largest university-based film and television archive in the world — and The Geffen Playhouse, one of Los Angeles' most prestigious performance venues. Our approach to instruction seamlessly combines theory and practice. While students are directing, acting, writing, producing and designing, they are also learning history, criticism and theory: Students of criticism gain hands-on creative experience and media artists acquire fine-tuned critical awareness.
