The Department of Theatre & Drama provides students with a stimulating blend of cultural diversity, intellectual rigor, and professional experience, all in an intimate and supportive atmosphere. The notable faculty comprises accomplished working professionals including actors, directors, designers, technicians, and published scholars. The program combines intense, conservatory-style training within the context of a liberal arts education at one of the nation’s leading research universities. Renowned for their breadth of experience, Michigan theatre alumni work on stage, on camera, and in all behind-the-scenes roles, and they boast one of the strongest and most supportive networks in the industry.
The program’s broad curriculum takes advantage of the University’s strengths and resources to provide students with an exemplary education. Students can pursue BFAs in performance (with concentrations in either acting or directing); design & production (with concentrations in scenic, costume, or lighting design, as well as stage management); or interarts performance—a unique practice that promotes the intersection of theatrical and visual art. The bachelor in theatre arts (BTA) provides a substantive theatre education within a liberal arts framework, which can be customized to fit each student’s unique goals and passions, including a minor in performing arts management.
