Bachelor of Arts - Theatre and Communication Arts - Design and Technology Emphasis

Beginning college can be an intimidating transition. The Department of Theatre and Communication Arts provides students with a strong sense of community and support. The support network is incredible; they can help students see Whittier College as a home.

Whether in the classroom, on stage, or behind the scenes, theatre promotes collaboration and teamwork. Getting to work with students and faculty of diverse backgrounds and experiences will encourage students to experience new cultural perspectives and to examine complex issues in new ways.

Theatre is a comprehensive discipline, which challenges students to use their minds and bodies in creative ways, to work with others to create something wholly new and unique. The discoveries go beyond the stage.

The connections students form as theatre majors go beyond the classroom as well, requiring students to pull from and share their experiences with others. This will help individuals become an effective communicator, a better student, and grow as an individual.
