Denison University's mission is to offer a broad-based liberal arts education, and the department contributes to that mission by emphasizing historical, social and theoretical study along with studies in the various crafts of theatre. In addition, we encourage our majors to complement their theatre studies with challenging work in other disciplines. Many of our students choose to double major, or to pursue a major and a minor.
