Interested in our NEW BA program? The BA program in Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies is designed to provide students with a flexible, broad-based education in theatre. Students in this program have the option to pursue a particular specialization within the study of theatre, such as stage management, design, directing or dramaturgy, or can couple their study of theatre with a non-theatrical discipline such as business, social justice, psychology or art. The course of study for a student enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies Program can be customized to the student’s particular interests and career goals.
