BA in theatre arts

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Birmingham Southern College

Program Overview

At BSC, our theatre professors know that production skills are best learned through active participation in the classroom and on the stage. We place equal importance on learning and doing, and our students are well prepared for graduate work and for careers in professional and educational theatre -- or for whatever path they choose. As well as nationally-recognized performers, we regularly have theatre majors go on to become doctors, lawyers, arts administrators, educators, and more.Our department is a small community of students and professors in love with what they are doing. They'll help you find your passion, discover what you love to do, and develop your skills to their greatest potential.We complete four major productions each year and six to ten student-led productions. That means you'll get plenty of opportunities to learn the entire process hands-on, including acting, set and lighting design, costumes, choreography, company management, and playwriting.Theatre students are active in productions throughout their four years at BSC; freshmen are encouraged to get involved as soon as they arrive on campus.
