As FLPA degree-seeking students at UAF, individuals are immersed in hands-on learning through experiential learning opportunities that include acting in stage productions, directing films, and participating in technical theatre roles. This active engagement in real-world projects fosters transformative learning, as students develop practical skills and gain critical insights into the creative process. By collaborating on varied productions, students experience the full spectrum of theatre and film, preparing them for professional careers in the performing arts and media industries.
