Theatre Department

The theatre program stresses the intrinsic value of a broad study of theatre within the liberal arts tradition, affording the student a sound basis in the art, history, and literature of theatre. The Major in Theatre Studies serves the aspiring theatre professional and future graduate student, providing a wide-ranging curricular experience, while the Major in Theatre Studies: Performance Track and the Major in Theatre Studies: Design and Technology Track allow students to specialize in a particular field of theatre while still exploring the larger context of theatre studies. The Major in Theatre for Teacher Licensure specifically prepares students to enter the teaching field.
