Theater: Performance (B.A.)

The Bachelor of Arts in Theater will prepare students through a combination of coursework in performance, technology and design, and theory and criticism. Students will develop these abilities through acquisition of content knowledge, systematic application/skill development, communication of ideas, collaboration between artists, development of presentation skills, writing, and uses of technology. These skills provide an excellent foundation for careers in the theater as well as prepare students for graduate studies. Students will experience lectures, workshops, tutorials, project work, and practical opportunities to demonstrate the development of their abilities and knowledge.
