Undergraduate Programs

The undergraduate curriculum, including the Theater Major (BA), Musical Theater Major (BFA), and Technical Production and Management Major (BFA), is designed to develop within students the creative, cognitive, communication and entrepreneurial skills that will prepare them as citizens of the world and artists contributing to the development of the future of theater in the 21st century.

We hope to inspire our students to fulfill their creative potential within an ever more interdisciplinary artistic environment that is responsive to tomorrow's marketplace and the future needs of our multiple communities.
