The theatre arts and dance programs, including majors and minors, equip students with essential skills for those planning to continue their education beyond a Bachelor of Arts, enter teaching professions, or pursue careers in the performing arts. Under faculty guidance and with departmental consent, students can focus on specialized tracks like Acting, Design/Technology, or Theatre Education, or choose a General track for broader studies. The Dance program provides in-depth training in performance, choreography, and theoretical studies.
Through the theatre arts and dance majors, you'll refine your abilities in acting, directing, dance technique, research, performance, choreography, playwriting, youth theatre, technical production, scenic design, costume creation, sound engineering, stage direction, lighting design, historical studies, literary analysis, and pedagogy. Graduates leave our program well-prepared to seek teaching credentials, pursue graduate studies, or embark on professional artistic careers.
