Program Overview

The Theater Arts Major and Minor combine drama, dance, theater design/technology, history and critical studies to offer students an intensive, unified undergraduate experience. The lower-division curriculum requires a range of practical work in various sub-disciplines and a rigorous exposure to the history of theater from ancient to modern drama. At the upper-division level, students take classes in a range of history/theory/critical studies topics and are given the opportunity to focus on an area of interest through limited-enrollment studio classes and through direct interaction with faculty.

The Dance Minor provides a broad and deep approach to dance that encompasses history, culture, and performance among other dimensions of the varied art form. Students are offered a wide variety of interdisciplinary classes from which to choose and explore.
