As of May 2005, the Actors Studio is no longer be affiliated with The New School.

Beginning in Fall 2006, the Actors Studio will partner with Pace University to offer a three-year MFA degree in lower Manhattan.

The Actors Studio is not part of New School University. The Actors Studio Drama School is part of New School University. The Actors Studio Drama School (ASDS) was launched in 1994 as a joint venture between the Actors Studio and New School University (then called the New School for Social Research). James Lipton is now dean emeritus of ASDS and is not the actual dean of the school. The Actors Studio is a not-for-profit corporation independent of NSU, but affiliated with it through ASDS.

It would be extremely helpful if some small commentary could be included which would delineate the circumstances and/or reasons underlying the move from the New School University to Pace University, and mention that an MFA acting program appparaently still continues at the New School. --24.94.19.234 05:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Commentary on the split, I agree, although so much of it was private contract negotiations that it's hard to know the details. I was a student while all this was happening, and I really don't have any info I can put here (I have info, just nothing I can back up with verifiable sources). As for the acting program at the New School, info on that really belongs on the New School page (folks can follow the link for that info). --Brian Olsen 18:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
