| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
The Academy is housed in a six-story building that is a registered New York City landmark.

| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
The Academy is dedicated to a single purpose: training actors. Every activity at the school is dedicated to that end. For the serious, committed, and well-motivated student, the Academy offers more than a center of success; it offers a balanced and carefully structured curriculum and a qualified faculty. The Professional Training Program requires two years to complete and leads to an associate degree. A post-graduate year is offered to selected graduates. |
