About the course
Our B.A. in Theatre is a traditional Liberal Arts degree, designed to provide a solid foundation in all aspects of theatre while leaving some flexibility to pursue your own particular goals. You will need to combine it with a minor, or even a second major. Our B.A. in Theatre does not require an audition and is most appropriate for students who want the freedom to explore during their undergraduate years. The curriculum includes study in theatre history and theory, performance, design and production, and a number of performance or production lab credits earned through involvement in shows. Ten hours of theatre electives allow you to further pursue whatever most interests you. B.A. Theatre students will often combine their degree with a major or minor in Film, Broadcasting, Creative Writing, Dance, Music, or Arts Administration. But really, you can combine your B.A. in Theatre with almost any other major or minor at WKU. The Theatre Program at WKU offers a wide range of educational opportunities, allowing you to shape your training in the way that best suites your goals. Check out the majors and minors below and start thinking about how we can best help you develop your unique voice as an artist, scholar, educator, advocate, or administrator. Or maybe all of the above We welcome everyone and strive for a broad diversity of voices. A common thread in all of our programs is the importance of learning through doing. Our department is your laboratory. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
