Our Mission
At the heart of our program is a bold, hands-on approach to theatre-making. We blend dynamic classroom learning with real-world experience — on stage, in the studio, and through collaboration with working professionals.
Our Theatre Arts majors earn a Bachelor of Arts degree grounded in history, literature, theory, and practice. With concentrations in Performance, Design & Technology, and Theatre Studies, you'll find the freedom to explore and the support to specialize.
From mainstage productions to student-driven projects, you’ll work side-by-side with faculty and guest artists who are active in the field and deeply invested in your growth. We’re committed to building an inclusive, welcoming community where creativity thrives, and every student can evolve into the artist they’re meant to be.
