The UCLA undergraduate theatre programs offer the critical study of theater as a global phenomenon along with practice in acting, writing, directing, design and outreach education in the context of a professional school. The vision of the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television is to serve as a premiere interdisciplinary global professional school that develops outstanding humanistic storytellers, industry leaders and scholars whose diverse, innovative voices enlighten, engage, and inspire change for a better world.
The bachelor of arts degree with a major in Theater provides a liberal arts education and pre-professional training in a comprehensive program that uniquely combines the study of the arts, humanities and sciences with exploration of the principle areas of theater practice. The program is designed to ensure that students graduate with a sound humanistic and experiential base for further pursuits in education and in life beyond the university. The comprehensive program in theater combines a critical study of theater with experiential practice in one or more of its component parts. Students explore the various areas of theater to build a foundation for future creative work.
The Department of Theater also offers an M.F.A. in Theater with specializations in Acting, Directing, Playwriting, Design for Theater and Entertainment (Scenic Design, Costume Design and Lighting Design); and a Ph.D. in Theater and Performance Studies.
