All of our students take the core theatre classes, introducing them to the basics of Theatre History, Technical Theatre, Directing, Acting and Dance. Students then move on to advanced study in a chosen area of concentration. Students with a major in Theatre choose from the following areas of emphasis:

Students majoring in Theatre will be required to complete an interdisciplinary minor. The university has a diversity of minors to choose from that will compliment the study of Theatre. A few of the options available include Arts Management, Graphic Communications, Education, Human Development, Humanistic Studies, and Social Change and Development. Students work closely with their academic advisor to develop an academic plan with an increasing focus on post-graduation goals.

The Theatre major provides training that will prepare students for a wide variety of career options in the entertainment industry. Students are encouraged to pursue summer internship and work experiences prior to graduation and the University has an excellent Study Abroad program. Our graduates are well prepared for advanced study in conservatory graduate programs, internships, and professional work. The communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills developed during the undergraduate education are highly valued by employers in all fields.
