DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Education

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre


UIndy's Theatre Department is a medium-sized department, though students have said they feel part of a small family. This is because our tight-knit community of students, staff and professors work closely together on several theatrical productions each year. From engaging courses to working on productions, to acting alongside other students, you'll develop a keen sense of community. These connections are key to post-graduation success. Professors and others who can speak to your personal skill and talent will serve you well beyond graduation.

Notable Alumni Include:

Aaron Seelig, Amber Martin, Arianne Villareal, Jenni White, Brenda Barrie, Alex Oberheide, Christina (Robinson) Schwinn.




Faculty Info:

Dr. Elisabeth Honn Hoegberg, James Leagre, Christian McKinney, Penny Sornberger, Chelsea Anderson, David Lapham, Ronn Johnston, Dr. Grant Williams.
