BA in Theatre

The B.A. in theatre program provides broad-based education and training in theatre and provides students the flexibility to explore any aspects of the performing arts. The degree combines a theoretical and analytical approach to understanding theatre. The degree provides an excellent background to enter graduate school or pursue work in various theatre or related areas.

This program also allows students to combine theatre training with other disciplines to prepare them for careers not specifically in the theatre profession. For example, students may combine a B.A. in theatre with a minor in entrepreneurship to prepare for careers in theatre and administrative and management fields. Students might also incorporate a B.A. in theatre with a major in creative writing to prepare for jobs such as playwriting or screenwriting. Another possibility is to double major in film/television production.
