Progression and Assessment

Attendance at Molloy/CAP21

During their first year of studies, students will take Studio Courses two days per week at the Molloy/CAP21 Manhattan Center in NYC. During the subsequent three years, students will take Studio Courses at the Molloy/CAP21 Manhattan Center three days per week. Other Major Requirement and General Education courses will be taken on the Molloy campus.

Student Performances

Although first-year B.F.A. students are not permitted to audition or participate in performances, they will enjoy numerous performance opportunities beginning in their sophomore year. These performances are held at the Molloy/CAP21 Manhattan Center in NYC, Molloy’s Hays Theatre or Molloy's Madison Theatre.

In their final semester, B.F.A. students will participate in industry showcase opportunities in Manhattan designed to help them secure representation as they launch their performance careers.

Grading

Studio Courses will be team-taught by CAP21 Performing Arts Instructors who are working industry professionals and graded by each individual instructor. All studio course grades will be combined into a final three or four credit grade for each of the eight semesters of study.

Progression

A grade of "C+" or better is necessary in every major requirement in the Theatre Arts courses to progress to the next semester. Students may not continue to the next term without the required prerequisite courses. Courses are offered once yearly in sequence because each semester builds upon completion of the previous semester. Students not obtaining necessary grades will be subject to withdrawal or dismissal from the program until they are qualified to return.
