The Acting Program At...

Today, the Visual & Dramatic Arts department at Rice gives students the opportunity to focus their art education in one of three distinct tracks of study. Studio, Theatre, or Film. In addition, we supplement course work with distinguished speakers, visiting artists, exhibitions, film series, and competitive residency programs. .

Many of our students link their careers in art to other disciplines of study. We work hard to provide an active, artistic environment where individuals can pursue art interests while continuing other fields of scholarly study. We stress the importance of these connections and feel that the artwork produced is clearly richer and more diverse because of collaborative engagement.
