Indiana University

The B.F.A. degree in Theatre prepares students for the professional theatre or additional training at the graduate level via an intensely-focused concentration in their specific area of study and extensive production experience designed to promote excellence.

The B.A. degree gives students a broad acquaintance and experience with the various ways theatre artists study, interpret, and express the world in which we live via the theatrical genre.

This is a highly well-rounded degree that aims to create a foundational knowledge of theatre from which students can pursue work in their chosen field and/or further graduate study as stage managers, directors, designers, performers, technicians, and much more. The B.A. student chooses much of their focus and ultimate path through this degree experience.
