The Dramaturgy degree at the Helmerich School of Drama is an excellent foundation for the undergraduate student interested in pursuing a career and/or graduate studies in dramaturgy, theatre history, directing, or playwriting. Professional dramaturges work with playwrights on the development of new plays, and can also work alongside directors during the production process of an established play. The School of Drama prides itself on recognizing this burgeoning field and being one of the few universities around the country to offer this degree to Bachelor of Fine Arts students.
