戏剧艺术研究专业的学士学位可提供动手训练，批判性思维技能以及各种表演学科的职业道德发展。学生专注于特定的兴趣领域，并接受了可在多种制作和媒体环境中使用的技能的培训。学生将有机会参加由教师，研究生和本科生指导的数十个戏剧和电影项目。部门内为高年级学生提供助教和每小时工作。可以在学区以及剧院，电影和电视公司提供实习机会。对音乐舞蹈戏剧BFA或表演BFA感兴趣的人，应声明表演预科，而不是戏剧艺术研究专业。音乐舞蹈剧院BFA的申请者可能还需要申报音乐专业预科课程。
A BA in Theatre Arts Studies provides hands-on training, critical thinking skills, and the development of professional ethics across the various performance disciplines. Students focus on a particular area of interest and are trained in skills that can be used in multiple production and media environments. Students will have opportunity to participate in dozens of theatre and film projects directed by faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Those interested in the Music Dance Theatre BFA or in the Acting BFA, should declare the Acting Pre-major, not the Theatre Arts Studies major. Applicants to the Music Dance Theatre BFA may also need to declare the Music Pre-major.
