Bachelor of Theatre Arts

The Bachelor of Theatre Arts (BTA) program gives independent-thinking, entrepreneurial theatre-makers and arts managers the ability to create a course of study supporting their unique interests. The program’s flexibility and interdisciplinarity makes the BTA particularly attractive to undergraduates wishing to pursue a minor or second major at the university. BTA students complete coursework and hands-on learning experiences in a wide range of areas, including performing arts management, playwriting, global theatre and ethnic studies, theatre and social change, practice-as-research, education, and stage management.

The BTA provides flexibility for students who are interested in developing a minor area of study or pursuing a second major. In consultation with the program advisor, students may customize the program to fit personal academic or career goals.
