    BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAM

The theatre program is committed to the interrelationship of strong academic offerings and substantial training in theatre production within a liberal arts context. All University students may participate in University theatre productions and take courses in theatre without being majors.

    Students wishing to teach may major in theatre and receive teaching certification in a related discipline (see requirements in the Teacher Certification and Teacher Education sections of this Catalog).
