- Description
- The Department of Fine and Performing Arts offers a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. With an emphasis on experimentation and collaboration, the Theatre degree serves as excellent preparation for a career in theatre. The program provides a general introduction to the field through foundation courses in acting, play analysis, costume construction, set and lighting production, theatrical design, collaboration, theatre history, arts management, and artist entrepreneurship. Students choose electives tailored to their desired theatre-making focus and advanced coursework in design (costume, scenic, and lighting), acting, and directing. Throughout the four-year program, students gain practical experience through a minimum of four semesters of working with faculty on the department production season. Options to double major or minor in other Fine and Performing Arts programs allow students to pursue study uniquely tailored to their own interests and future goals.
