Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies is a nationally recognized, pre-professional program for students interested in teaching theatre at the high school, middle school or elementary school level. Outstanding faculty offer students a comprehensive curriculum in theatre, drama, technical theatre and educational methods combined with in-depth field and student teaching experiences.

The B.F.A. in Theatre Studies degree plan leads to K-12 theatre teacher certification. Students wishing to study theatre who do not plan to seek teaching certification should apply only to the B.A. in Theatre and Dance.

Interview Requirement

In addition to applying for admission, an interview is required of all prospective B.F.A. in Theatre Studies majors. Beginning August 15, 2013, you may contact Joan Lazarus to schedule your interview.
