Welcome
When you look at our School's website you may notice something you won't see virtually anywhere else in North America. Unlike almost every other program, we unite theatre, film, and television in one School. Your ability to work in all three areas reflects the professional world and the exciting new careers that await you when you graduate. They aren’t separate in the world of work, and they aren’t separate in your experience in the School of Theatre, Film & Television.
Our extraordinary faculty offers comprehensive training in the art and business of storytelling. Whether that story is told on stage, on screens, or in the emerging world of media and entertainment, you will be given the education, training, and hands-on experience to become artistic makers and leaders for the future.
Part of our commitment to prepare you for your future career is our extensive internship program. These opportunities, often provided by notable TFTV alumni working in almost every sector of the entertainment industry, allow you to engage the professional area of your choice and learn from experienced practitioners by working alongside them.
Welcome to one of America’s most exciting arts environments. We're proud to be ranked the No. 2 public school in the United States, and the only National Top 10 school located outside of Los Angles, Boston and New York (The Wrap College Issue, 2024). Come join us in the stunning desert southwest and take your place with talented colleagues who share your passion for the study, the business, and the art of storytelling. Explore the rich emotional possibilities offered only through live performance and the immersive cinematic and media experience we offer you in the University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film, & Television.
