Bachelor of Arts - Theatre (52-53 credits)
Students who choose a theatre major learn theatre from top to
bottom and develop an understanding of the collaboration
inherent in successful theatre production. You'll be encouraged
to design your own approach to theatre by building a strong
liberal arts background. Alongside that you'll be encouraged to
participate in a variety of aspects of the school's theatre
productions – acting, directing, design, costumes, lighting and
promotion. You'll be mentored and supported by faculty
members who have credentials in theatre as well as in
classrooms.
