Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Theater] From University of Massachusetts

Although Theater majors often focus on a specific area of the field, such as acting, design, directing or dramaturgy, the major is designed to give students experience in all the major areas of theater. As a result, students leave the department extensively trained, with a well-rounded base of knowledge that makes them competitive candidates for employment as well as graduate study.

In addition to coursework, students participate in productions, serving as actors, designers, directors, and dramaturgs, both in the Theater Department’s season and in independent undergraduate productions and informal events.
Undergraduate Theater majors also participate in many special events designed to supplement the curriculum, ranging from hands-on master classes with guest professionals to career-development workshops.
