Roadmap: B.A. in Theatre Arts, Technical Theatre Concentration
|
|
|
The Theatre Department offers a General BA degree track with the option to pursue concentrations in either Performance or Technical Theatre, which trains undergraduates as general practitioners in the art of Theatre. The curriculum balances theoretical and practical work while featuring a close relationship between courses and production. The students and faculty work together on all aspects of production in a 300-seat mainstage theater and a 100-seat studio theater. Upon completion of the Theatre major, a student will be able to collaborate with others in the operation of a theatre or to qualify for further professional training as an artist or as a scholar. Courses in the theatre curriculum also provide aesthetic and cultural enrichment for Liberal Arts students.
This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in four years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.
