Bachelor of Arts in Theatre: Curriculum
Along with the study of history and literature of theatre and dance, we provide you with a broad base practical education in the arts and crafts of the theatre and/or dance with an opportunity to focus on a specific area of the craft. At the core of these educational processes are the departmental productions, which serve as laboratory outlets for the theories and crafts that are taught in the classroom.
