  The Department of Theater and Dance

at Youngstown State University
 
Theater Studies at Youngstown State University consist of an appropriate blend of academic and practical coursework leading to a Bachelor's degree in this most human of all the arts.  As a theater student, you will explore the many facets of human nature within the context of dramatic conflict, and you will learn how best to present the results of those explorations in various public performance settings. 

The undergraduate focus and the reasonable size of our department assures that theater majors will have close personal attention from the faculty, and that they will be able to audition successfully for roles in the production season from the very beginning of their matriculation. 

With a varied selection of dramatic and musical works, and an academic curriculum which provides the theoretical and practical skills necessary to produce them, the comprehensive program at Youngstown State University is structured to train theater practitioners who are able to function confidently on both sides of the footlights.

Youngstown State University is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Theater (NAST).
