Department of Theater, Mason Gross School of the Arts
The bachelor of arts (B.A.) program in theater is designed for those students seeking a liberal arts education coupled with a solid fundamental overview of the professional theater. The program provides a high-quality, general perspective of theater encompassing academic study, performance studies, production practice, and appropriate internships and/or project work. Several opportunities exist for students to study abroad in university-sponsored programs. B.A. students enjoy several performing/production outlets with extracurricular theater organizations on campus: the Cabaret Theater, the College Avenue Players, Hillel Theater, and the Livingston Theater Company.
