ASSOCIATE DEGREE CURRICULUM AT LSTFI

The goal of the AOS Degree is to prepare well-rounded, Method-trained actors who are equipped to thrive in the competitive acting industry. The legacy synonymous with the Lee Strasberg name ensures that industry professionals recognize the quality of training our graduates have received. Lee Strasberg’s Method Acting provides graduates with the tools to live authentically as the character rather than simply “act” the character, setting them apart with truthful, captivating and engaged performances. The Method is applicable across all mediums and our alumni go on to succeed in theatre, film, television, and commercial work.
