As a drama major at Tisch myself, I’ve been asked time and time again: “Are there Non-Tisch Acting opportunities at NYU?”
The answer is a resounding: yes.
Despite the rigorous training I receive in my studio, the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute, I’ve found countless ways to continue exploring my love for performance across campus. Whether you’re in the Rory Meyers College of Nursing, the Stern School of Business, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, or just looking for more ways to get on stage or in front of a camera, NYU has options for you."

"Each year, NYU Tisch School of the Arts ranks consistently among the top drama schools in the country. Although impressive, these accolades can be somewhat daunting for students who want performance opportunities outside of Tisch, or for students who are Non-Acting Majors.
