  • Personalized Education
    Our students are more than a test score, GPA, and seat in a classroom. Our belief that education should be personalized translates to our programs where collaboration with classmates is encouraged, and your professor will know you by name.

The Theatre program aligns with the University’s commitment to liberal arts education. It provides a comprehensive curriculum that spans lower and upper-level courses, equipping students for diverse career paths in professional, educational, and community theatre programs, as well as advanced studies in graduate theatre programs.

Our approach places a strong emphasis on personalized instruction, which is particularly evident in upper-level theatre courses where internship opportunities and performance responsibilities are integrated. This program is designed to establish a solid foundation in theatre fundamentals, allowing majors to specialize in either technical or performance theatre.

This curriculum is tailored to nurture a well-rounded and adaptable understanding of theatre, preparing students for a dynamic range of opportunities in the field.
