BWW Student Center's School in the Spotlight: Lamar University
By: BWW Special Coverage Jan. 11, 2013
The BroadwayWorld Student Centeris a comprehensive Student Database listing college and university performing arts programs across the country making it easier for prospective students by showcasing programs searchable by schools, location, degrees and concentrations.
The Student Center also offers a show calendar of college and high-school productions where schools can upload photos, videos, cast lists, articles and other media content for each of their shows. BWW will be combing through all content regularly and will launch weekly feature stories highlighting productions locally and nationally that have provided us with this extra content.
This week's featured program is The Department of Theatre and Dance at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas!
The Department of Theatre & Dance at Lamar University is a cohesive and dynamic program in which the faculty and staff provide personalized instruction and mentorship for student growth.
We develop imaginative, well-rounded students with critical thinking skills, creativity, and a passion for life-long learning.
