This degree is specifically designed for those students with a firm idea of their professional goals. It is a concentrated four-year program which requires students to demonstrate acquired abilities in their emphasis area. A 2.50 GPA in Theatre Arts courses is required for graduation. Candidates must also complete the teaching certification requirements. A departmental BFA committee presides over the acceptance process and progress reviews.
Transfer students are subject to the same acceptance process and progress review.
Inquiries about specific requirements and expectations should be directed to the Theatre Arts office. Students seeking the BFA degree should work closely with advisers. General Education requirements, core courses, production practicum, and some area emphasis courses should be completed before the end of the sophomore year. Individual needs, interests, and goals of the student will be used in elective course selection. The department maintains an updated Course of Study to aid the student in selecting courses for the first two years of the curriculum in recommended sequence.
