Theater Education 4+1 Program
The Theater Education 4+1 Program allows students to earn a bachelor of arts in theater, with a focus on theater education, a masters of education degree, a super-minor in English, certification to teach in secondary schools in Pennsylvania, and perform a semester of student teaching in a high school setting. The 4+1 allows students to begin taking graduate level courses in their junior and senior year leaving only 19 credit hours of graduate work in the final year after earning the BA in theater.
The program prepares students for professional careers in theater education and outreach. These promising educators are budding artists who are drawn to the academic setting, children's theater, and educational programs of theaters across the country in an capacity to reach people of all ages as teaching artists; collaborate with youth theater organizations across the country; teach in middle and high schools; manage arts programs at recreation centers, camps or private schools; and many other occupations available to motivated theater artists.
