Theatre Major Bachelor's Degree

Students have the opportunity to study performance, design and theatre technology, theatre history, and dramatic literature.

As a theatre major or minor, you become part of a vibrant theatrical community. Our courses integrate body, mind and spirit as you interpret dramatic literature, explore theatre history, and create theatrical productions.

You’ll learn from professors globally acclaimed for their expertise in theatre across world cultures. The department produces four major productions every year, and co-produces a dynamic season of student-generated performance, all in our state-of-the-art facility.

Studying theatre at Pomona equips you for a wide range of careers in the professional and/or academic theatre. It also equips you with valuable creative, analytical, and collaborative skills to tackle complex problems in the non-theatrical workplace.

Established in 1887, Pomona College is a private liberal arts college in Claremont, Calif., about 35 miles east of Los Angeles. We offer a comprehensive curriculum, with 48 majors in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

One of the premier liberal arts colleges in the nation, Pomona is a close-knit and diverse community of accomplished scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs and artists who are passionate about making a difference in the world. There are approximately 1,477 students who come from 61 nations and all 49 U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.

With a student-faculty ratio of 8 to 1, our students work closely with their professors in the classroom, in the lab and in the field. And our location—within an hour of Los Angeles and the mountains, desert and beaches—provides countless opportunities for field study, research and internships.

Almost all students live in one of 14 residence halls on our 140-acre campus. As the founding member of The Claremont Colleges, a unique consortium of seven colleges and graduate schools, we offer both the advantages of a small liberal arts college and the resources of a large university.
