Undergraduate Programs in Drama

In this section:

Bachelor of Arts in Drama

Minor in Drama with Dance Concentration

Up one level:

Drama

The mission of the Undergraduate program in Drama is to provide the strongest non-conservatory program for students studying Drama and Dance in a liberal arts context. Joining academic research with performance and technical practice, our majors pursue areas of interest in acting, directing, playwriting, dance, design, stage management, performance theory and cultural studies. Students explore these fields in a collaborative environment with close faculty contact. One of the requirements of the major is to fulfill a stage management course (generally done in the Junior year), which allows students practical exposure to managing and/or crewing a production. It is essential that students understand the concrete workings of theater in order to fully appreciate its history and literature. With faculty collaboration, students of Drama and Dance integrate research, theory, intellectual engagement and performance. During the Senior year, students have the option of completing a Senior Project in addition to completing the 60 units required for the major.
