This English-taught program encourages intellectual and creative risk-taking, complementing a major in another discipline. It's ideal for students passionate about the arts and looking to enhance their liberal arts education.

Students engage with dramatic material, developing expressive and interpretive skills through a variety of courses covering different aspects of theater. This hands-on experience prepares them for a dynamic creative landscape. The curriculum helps students gain a deep understanding of performance and theater.

Graduates can pursue job titles like Theater Director, Stage Manager, Playwright, or Dramaturg. They may find opportunities in theater companies, educational institutions, and cultural organizations. The skills acquired through this program are transferable, opening doors to careers in arts administration, media, and other fields.
