Degrees and Programs

The theatre arts major, dance option, and minors are designed to provide
competencies in the theatre arts for students who intend to pursue study
beyond the Bachelor of Arts degree, who are preparing for careers in teaching
or for the professional theatre. With the assistance of their advisers and
with departmental approval, students follow a track of advanced courses specializing
in the areas of Acting or Design/Technology, or students may opt for advanced
courses covering a broad range of study by selecting the General track. The
Theatre Arts Program offers through the dance option intensive studies in
dance performance, choreography, and theory. This option provides preparation
for graduate studies or a professional career.
