BA in General Theatre

The Bachelor of Arts in general theatre is designed for students who want a liberal arts education, emphasizing theatre. In addition to a broad liberal arts background, the BA provides the student with creative studio and performance work experiences. BA students are expected not only to master critical thinking about performance through courses such as theatre history, playwriting, and dramaturgy but also to audition for productions or involve themselves in creating theatrical experiences on many levels. A Stage Management emphasis in the BA track has been introduced recently.

The Bachelor of Arts provides broad career opportunities: students interested in several fields can minor in other subject areas. Examples of possible minors are English, business, or communications.
