Theatre Studies
The Bachelor of Arts Theatre Studies major provides a broad-based and cross-disciplined approach to the study of theatre as an undergraduate major. Theatre is one of the most rewarding and comprehensive disciplines, since it includes development of the complete personality: the mind, the body, the imagination and the senses as part of an integrated whole. The program offers students a serious and challenging beginning to their studies in theatre and a background in areas that could lead to opportunities in writing, computer technology, public service, communications or human relations.
