The arts and humanities are not only the heart and soul of the liberal arts, but they provide the skills?innovation, critical thinking, oral and written communication, and complex-problem solving?that employers have identified as most crucial to success in life after college.

The artists and scholars who make up the faculty of the School of Arts and Humanities demonstrate their mastery of these skills through their own increasingly prominent scholarly and creative work and through their teaching. The faculty?s ongoing commitment to pedagogical innovation gives students exciting opportunities to apply what they have learned through exhibitions, performances, presentations, research, internships, and travel. We welcome you to the School of Arts and Humanities, where students have the best of both worlds: they study what they love and get the skills they need.

Prospective Theatre students should plan to attend the Theatre Audition Day. Performance students will perform a short prepared audition for the faculty. Interviews and portfolio reviews will be conducted with Design and Production and Theatre Management students.

Students are encouraged to audition for various performance opportunities, including both faculty- and student-directed works. The Theatre program presents four works a year, two in the Experimental Theatre, and two in the Performing Arts Center. Additional performance opportunities abound with activities offered through classes as well as the Theatre Club.
