Undergraduate Overview

The mission of the Department of Theater is founded on three principles:

1. Theater is a multidisciplinary form in which all of the arts and humanities intersect.
2. The study of theater cultivates life skills in collaborative, creative, and critical thinking.
3. The theory and practice of theater are inseparable and mutually beneficial.

Our course of study prepares the serious theater student for graduate study and/or a professional career. Our goal is to instill in students a deep and lifelong appreciation for the theater, as theater professionals and audience members. Our outstanding faculty has a depth of experience spanning both the academic and professional theatrical worlds, providing our students with close mentorship and individual attention.
