The program is designed to provide students with a theoretical foundation and a practical proficiency in the arts of theatre.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) allows the student to gain a better understanding of the theatre, while allowing each individual student the opportunity to start to specialize in a specific area of the art, including performance, and design/tech. Courses in this degree utilize lectures, workshops, and practical experience in all phases of the theatre.
All first-time freshmen must successfully complete CAS 100: First Year Experience as a degree requirement. Students must enroll during their first term at USA, except for summer-entry students who must enroll in the fall semester following entry.
