The
BA in Drama provides a broadly based approach for students
who wish to emphasize theatre as an undergraduate major. A strong
core of courses in acting, directing, stagecraft, playscript analysis,
and theatre history is supplemented by additional work in performance,
technical theatre, and other theatre studies. BA Drama Majors have
plentiful opportunities to develop analytical, communication, and
presentational skills highly valued in university graduates.
All
Theatre majors are expected to read and abide by the policies published
in the Theatre
Program student handbooks, available on-line.
