The Theatre School's Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in comedy arts prepares graduates to be performers, directors, and content creators through the academic study of the history and techniques of comedy. Through a combination of coursework and performances both on-campus and in professional Chicago comedy venues, the curriculum reflects the way comedians have learned their field for centuries: testing material in front of an audience, digesting their response, and then learning to revise and rethink in order to be successful communicators and storytellers. At DePaul, we consider Chicago to be our classroom. As one of the nation's best comedy scenes, our classroom is hard to beat.
