Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Media and Film and Psychology

at University of Windsor Canada

The 4-year Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting degree is designed to prepare graduates to pursue careers as professional actors. This internationally recognized, pre-professional acting program provides stellar training with the perfect balance of conservatory style classes, academic course work, and main stage performance requirements.

You will learn from outstanding faculty members who are professional actors and directors, and from guest artists who are working theatre professionals serving as visiting professors, directors, and artists in residence. Small classes and easy access to professors will provide you with personalized attention and an individualized approach to studies in order to enhance learning, scholarship, and provide an unforgettable University experience.

This course-based program will enable you to examine philosophical orientations, conceptual frameworks, and research methodologies relevant to the study of Canadian Education.

The program objectives will be accomplished through the completion of nine courses followed by the capstone course, the Research Internship. A distinguishing feature of the International Cohort M. Ed. is the Educational Research Internship. The Internship will take place in collaboration with school board, college, university, and selected community organization leaders. It presents students with authentic assessment tasks that situates their on-going inquiries in a context that enables them to apply and further critique what has been learned previously. Individually or as part of a two or three person research team, students will engage in matters pertaining to research, program review, policy development, and so on, as appropriate. The spectrum of projects may, for example, address questions aimed at the improvement of literacy and numeracy skills, student motivation, curriculum integration, and leadership development.
