Our Bachelor of Arts in Theatre combines a liberal arts education with professionally-focused training. We believe that theatre artists are makers, creators, devisers, designers, writers, leaders, activists, and entertainers. So, at the heart of our program is the belief that every student should be given the training and resources they need to realize a unique vision for their life, education, and creative work. Our major is the place to train intensively as an actor, join an entirely student-produced, designed, and directed Studio Theatre, write, devise, and produce your own work, train as a designer using state-of-the-art technology, and develop a scholarly understanding of culture and art. Students are admitted to the major based on an audition or interview, or what we call our ''gateway'' process, and graduates enjoy an excellent record of placement in jobs at professional theatres on Broadway and off-Broadway, in film and television, and as teachers, theatre makers, and leaders in the arts. Faculty are distinguished for their professional accomplishment and student-centered teaching. The Design & Technology Concentration provides hands-on training and experience through classes and design opportunities in the Studio and Mainstage Season.
