The School of Theatre & Dance offers a comprehensive program of both practical and theoretical courses for undergraduate and graduate students whose professional interests center on a career in professional or educational theatre or dance.

As a center for the training of future theatre and dance artists, the School is committed to introducing a diversity of theatre and dance traditions and cultures to students. To this end, the School employs its two dedicated theatre spaces, two dedicated dance spaces, and other flexible spaces as learning laboratories in which students collaborate with each other, faculty, and guest professionals. Studio workshops and advanced stage productions in those performance spaces are the culmination of the educational experience.

The curriculum in theatre provides the student with background for advanced study in the dramatic arts, for teaching, for a career in professional theatre and for a lifelong appreciation of the theatrical arts. Fundamental to the major program is a core of required courses designed to develop a foundation upon which to pursue focused coursework in performance (acting and directing), design, technical production, play development, dramaturgy, or musical theatre.
