It combines the intensive training of the Drama Department with a broad education in the liberal arts. Students enrolled in the B.S. degree may choose a track (concentration) in Directing, Playwriting, Theater Technology or Acting, provided that they have been admitted to, and have completed a portion of, a Drama BFA program. However, students may be directly admitted into the Theater Management B.S. track.

The new Theater Management track will prepare you for a variety of careers including producing, marketing and public relations, casting, development, and general management. It will also provide you with the chance to develop widely transferable management skills. Working in direct partnership with professionals at Syracuse Stage, you will gain firsthand knowledge of a professional theater company’s operations.

The Acting and Theater Technology tracks in the B.S. program are more broadly focused than the B.F.A. programs. This allows you to tailor your course of studies to your individual interests, and facilitates the pursuit of a minor in an area of your choice, while still enabling you to take advantage of the Department’s many resources - including opportunities to study abroad, and our partnership with Syracuse Stage.
