Theatre Learning Objectives

Theatre students will benefit from a foundation in all aspects of theatre and will have opportunities to participate actively in campus theatre productions. A major in theatre will help you gain knowledge in theory, history, literature and criticism.
 
The department of theatre productions will supplement classroom study, providing hands-on experience. Exposure to acting, lighting, sound, properties and stage and box office management will prepare you for career success.

On-campus opportunities include independent research, workshops and guest lectures.
