Bachelor of Science in Theatre

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre


The UCA Theatre program is rooted in the liberal arts tradition. Theatre students are at their best when they understand the theoretical, historical, and practical elements of theatre. It is equally essential that students grasp the historical and social traditions that created and continue to sustain theatre as an art form. Our production program is co-curricular, providing a creative forum where theories taught in the classroom can be applied. Although acting and production experiences are open to all UCA students, Theatre majors and minors are given preference whenever possible.
