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 pre-professional training in the same field. Both include lectures, workshops, and practical experience in all phases of the theatre. Please note: Admittance to the Theatre Arts (BFA) Performance Concentration requires a successful audition and interview. Incoming students who are interested in this concentration will be initially enrolled as drama (BA) students.
