Theatre Arts Tracks

The B.A./B.S. in Theatre Arts offers two tracks:

Design and Production Track

The Design and Production track provides a broad foundation in all areas of theatre design and technical production, while preparing the student for graduate study or entry-level professional work in scenic, costume, lighting, or sound design, or technical direction, construction and support. Faculty mentors guide qualified students through design and production projects of increasing responsibility, 颅culminating in mainstage designs and leadership production positions for the most advanced students. The Design and Production Track has an excellent record of preparing students for internship, graduate programs, and career opportunities.

Theatre Studies Track

The theatre studies track integrates academic inquiry and performance exploration through a comprehensive study of the art of theatre in relation to multiple communities, from local to global. This program of study is well suited for students with interests in areas of theatre such as directing, dramaturgy, playwriting, theatre administration or stage management, among others. The well-rounded curriculum provides a strong foundation for graduate study or entry-level professional work. This track also provides numerous transferable skills for students who wish to apply their theatre training to other fields such as education, law or business.
