The Bachelor of Arts degree program incorporates a liberal
arts education with a thorough study of theatre. It is offered
in cooperation with the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
The theatre emphasis is tailored to each student's individual
needs. It offers a firm grounding in all aspects of theatre
while allowing students the freedom to select courses they
feel will benefit their own interests and career goals.
The number of required general education courses allows
students to participate in a minor program and still graduate
within a four-year period. Performance and production are
major parts of the B.A. curriculum for interested students.
Participation in performance is by audition selection only.
