Department of Theatre and Dance
Division of Humanities and Fine Arts

The Theatre Major engages students in the classroom with courses on dramatic literature & history, acting, directing, dramaturgy, design, stagecraft, choreography, movement, and stage management. Students leave with a broad base of knowledge and apply that knowledge through hands-on learning opportunities. Majors participate in many productions on campus, working to develop their artistic skills and the capacity for collaboration.
