At the undergraduate level, the Department of Theatre & Dance offers a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Theatre and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Dance. The theatre degree features four designated concentrations for in-depth coursework in: Acting, Musical Theatre, Design/Technical and Pre-Teaching. The four concentrations share a core curriculum of theatre arts courses while allowing students to extend study in their specific field of interest. Undergraduate students from other majors may also share in our interdisciplinary activities by auditioning for a minor in theatre or dance.
Two programs are offered at the graduate level: The Master of Science in Teaching (MST) in Theatre offers teaching certification through a BA/MST program, consisting of the Pre-Teaching Concentration in the BA program and the MST Theatre Education program through the College of Education. The Master of Arts (MA) in Theatre: Arts Administration is an online Masters program offered through Rowan University Global Learning & Partnerships.
