The program was initiated by the Florida State University School of Theatre in Tallahassee in 1968 and moved to Sarasota five years later to establish a permanent relationship with the Asolo Repertory Theatre.[1] It is currently housed in the Florida State University Center for the Performing Arts, which is a multi-theater complex, located on The Ringling property which is managed by Florida State University http://www.ringling.org/
During the third year of the program, students are treated as company members of the Asolo Rep. Upon graduation from the program, students are eligible to join the Actors' Equity Association.
In 2012, the program was named one of the top 25 drama schools in the world by The Hollywood Reporter. [2] At last listing by the U.S. News & World Report, it was ranked 6th among MFA Acting programs in the United States.[citation needed]
