After successfully completing the first two years of core theatre courses in their foundation areas of emphasis, students apply for admission to a specific degree program (B.F.A. or B.A.). The department offers B.F.A concentration areas in performance and stage management; as well as three areas of design/technology: scenic, lighting and costume.

Prospective theatre educators engage in intensive teacher-training activities that lead to certification. Learning outcomes Upon completing this program, students will know and know how to do the following: Demonstrate skills and techniques needed to enter the profession as a lighting designer/technician Demonstrate knowledge of history, theory and literature and their practical application
