Undergraduate
The Bachelor of Arts in general theatre is designed for students who want a liberal arts education with an emphasis in theatre. In addition to a broad liberal arts background, the BA provides the student with creative experiences of studio and performance work. The Bachelor of Arts provides broad career opportunities: students who are interested in several fields have the opportunity to minor in other subject areas. Examples of possible minors are English, business, or communications.

The Bachelor of Arts degree program in theatre prepares graduates to pursue additional academic degrees or enter professional theatre, teaching, or allied fields such as communication, public relations, etc. If they choose to pursue advanced degrees, BA graduates traditionally enter MA, JD, or PhD programs. Regardless of degree or career expectations, students complete a core of foundation courses in theatre and dance in addition to general education courses required by the College of Fine Arts and the University.

Theatre Minor
The Theatre Minor is designed for students who wish to pursue the study of the performing arts in theatre while maintaining a separate primary academic interest. The School offers two theatre minors, specializing in either general theatre or production, which are tailored to meet individual interests. The general theatre minor is a 17-credit program. The theatre production minor is an 18-credit program. Students pursuing either theatre minor must complete a basic Theatre Appreciation course and at least one semester of Production and Performance. In addition, the production minor requires that at least 9 of the 18 required hours be at the 3000-level or above. The general theatre minor requires at least eight hours at the 3000-level or above.
