Theatre, BA


The Bachelor of Arts with a major in theatre is appropriate for those students who seek a more general course of study with less depth in theatre and more educational breadth than is required by the BFA. Though this program does not provide a strong preparation for specialization in the various areas of theatre, it may, when combined with an appropriate minor, provide an education suitable for a number of vocations.
