Students of the program offered by are encouraged to engage intellectual and physical approaches to explore diverse cultural forms, historical traditions, and contemporary theatre practice. 

They will apply foundational knowledge of cognate disciplines such as history, philosophy, anthropology, political science, film, art, music, and literature through the lens of serious and disciplined study of acting, theatre design and production, dramaturgy, dramatic criticism, storytelling, and playwriting in theory and practice. During their first two years as Theatre majors, all students will take the same core of courses in all sub-disciplines.
