BA Theatre Arts

The primary objective of the Theatre Program is to provide a curriculum for the student interested in working in the professional theatre, teaching theatre, or studying theatre in graduate school. A major in theatre offers the student a comprehensive understanding of the Theatre Arts with the opportunity to specialize in teaching, directing, acting, designing, costuming, or playwriting. The program emphasizes student initiative, creativity, and responsible involvement. Classes are structured to provide a solid philosophical and practical approach to theatre. A grade of “C-” or better is required for major/minor coursework applied toward a degree in the Theatre Program.

The Theatre and Communication Studies Programs also offer students various combinations for majors and minors. See the Communication Studies section.
