The Certificate in Acting, offered by the Department of Theater, allows undergraduates from other disciplines to pursue their interest in acting. For myriad reasons, interested undergraduates pursue a major outside of Theater and the performing arts, but their passion for acting remains from experiences in middle school and high school productions, clubs, camps and childhood. The Certificate in Acting allows a student to continue acting training with professional actors and faculty from the Department of Theater at Temple University and the rich theatrical community of Philadelphia. Skills acquired from the Certificate in Acting complement requisite expertise in most professions. Confidence in public speaking and presentation, creativity, collaboration, professionalism and empathy are just some of the qualities enhanced through the study of acting.
