Our program also provides useful skills for those planning to pursue graduate school or professional training or to work in a theatre arts specialization. Drama majors often complete double majors in combination with many other departments and programs.
Drama majors and minors often use their Tufts experience as a springboard into professional training and careers. Noteworthy alumni in theatre and film include Hank Azaria, Peter Gallagher, William Hurt, Kristen Lee Kelly, James Nicola, Robert O'Hara, and Oliver Platt.
In recent years, seniors have gained admission to prestigious graduate programs at the Yale School of Drama, Columbia University, the Juilliard School, NYU's Tisch School for the Arts, Northwestern University, and the Webber-Douglas Academy (London), among others.
About two-thirds of our undergraduate alumni have successful careers in some aspect of theatre, film or television. Still others have made productive transitions to law, business, advertising, education, and many other fields.
