About the program

We offer classes for both majors and non-majors that provide a thorough foundation in theatrical history, theory, and literature as well as training in acting, directing, design, and technical theatre. Thus, students are prepared for graduate education and for employment in any field that values high level communication skills as well as for careers in theatre as teacher, artist, technician, or manager. In preparation for their graduate school and/or a professional career, majors are required, as part of their senior seminar experience, to reflect upon their time in the theatre program at Centre College. This reflection process involves a public “exhibition” of their four years of work within the program.

Acceptance rate

Centre College's overall acceptance rate is around 56%, and the early acceptance rate is about 66.5%
