Take your learning from the page to the stage as you gain plenty of hands-on experience. Our low faculty-to-student ratio and a close-knit department — about the size of a small repertory company — gives you ample opportunities to practice your craft.

戏剧行业

While you enhance your creative skills and talents, we prepare you to navigate the business side of the entertainment industry. Learn how to audition, craft a resume and tailor your work to a variety of stage and screen media.

Networking Opportunities

Our students and productions earned recognition from the American College Theatre Festival sponsored by the Kennedy Center. The annual festival is only one of the industry networking opportunities available to our majors.
