The Acting Program At...

The Department of Theatre offers courses of instruction which are designed to develop an understanding of the theatrical arts as an integral part of the society in which they exist. The courses are grounded in the belief that the liberal arts curriculum should give the highest priorities to the teaching of principles and concepts and that skills are valuable only if they are integrated components of a thorough understanding of those underlying principles and concepts.

A major in Theatre provides the basis for further study in graduate school, professional theatre training, or in the area of arts management.
