Department of Theatre

Theatre Major

The Division offers a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre . The Theatre curriculum is based on a liberal arts foundation, requiring a series of Theatre Core courses followed by a concentration in either Performance or Theatre Technology. Students have multiple opportunities to enhance classroom training with practical experiences.

Theatre Minor

The Division also offers a minor in Theatre , with either a Performance track or a Technical track.

Theatre Endorsement Program

The Division offers a Theatre Endorsement Program , which is currently open to currently enrolled-degree seeking education majors. The Pennsylvania Department of Education, PDE, defines an endorsement as a certificate program documenting areas of education where formal certification does not currently exist. Students participating in this program will have the opportunity to assist in production, direction, and administrative tasks associated with theatre.

As advocates of the arts the education and theatre department envision the addition of this 12-credit theatre endorsement as an excellent means to enhance the quality of theatre instruction in PK-12 schools. Please note: students seeking a theatre major or minor are not eligible to participate in the theatre endorsement program.

Special Note Regarding Performance and Production Practicums

Students may register with or without credit for the established theatre practicums organized under faculty supervision; registration for credit may be repeated. All students must meet the standards for attendance at rehearsals and public performances established by the faculty directors.
