About Bachelor of Arts - Theatre
Program Description
The B.A. in theatre program provides broad-based education and training in theatre and provides students flexibility to explore any and all aspects of the performing arts. The degree combines a theoretical and analytical approach to understanding theatre and has an emphasis on academic and experiential training. The degree provides an excellent background to enter a career in professional theatre or to enter graduate school.
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 fine arts entrepreneurship to prepare for careers in administrative and management fields in theatre. Students might also combine a B.A. in theatre with a major in creative writing to prepare for careers such as playwriting or screenwriting. Another possibility is to double major in film/television production.
Students holding the BA in Theatre must demonstrate
- The ability to think conceptually and critically about text, performance, and production.
- An understanding of production processes, aesthetic properties of style, and the way these shape and are shaped by artistic and cultural forces.
