The Dramatic Arts programs are designed to provide students with a
theoretical foundation and a practical proficiency in the arts of theatre.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) allows the student to gain a better
understanding of the theatre, while the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) provides
professional training in the same field. Both include lectures, workshops, and practical
experience in all phases of the theatre.
