A theatre degree and a theatre for secondary education degree differ in their focus and intended outcomes. A theatre degree is a broader program that may emphasize the study and practice of theatre arts. Theatre education majors may cover various aspects of theatre, including acting, directing, stagecraft, design, playwriting, theatre history and theory. A theatre for secondary education degree can prepare you to pursue opportunities as theatre teachers at the secondary school level (usually grades 6-12). It typically combines theatre coursework with education courses and teaching practicum experiences.
