The B.F.A. in Theater is an intensive academic and co-curricular
training experience in the total art of theater, integrating
both performance (acting, directing) and design/technical
(lighting, scenery, costume) areas, with the expectation that an
enhanced mastery in one of these areas will be demonstrated by the

coursework and production experiences, and hence it offers less opportunity
for taking elective courses or minors than is allowed in the
