DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Minor in Theatre


As a university discipline, theatre is young, but the art of the stage is ancient. At Trinity, we invite students to engage in the timeless tradition of theatre as a communal event—a creative laboratory, a celebration of culture, and a forum to examine the issues of our day. The major and minor in theatre allow students’ creative work to form the core of their liberal arts education: a laboratory to explore how humanities, sciences and other arts intersect. Trinity’s theatre program prepares students for life in any number of professions. Graduates have gone on to pursue careers in a vast array of professional fields.
