About the program

Lee University offers both a B.A. in Theatre and a B.A.T. in Theatre with Teaching Licensure (K-12). The B.A. in Theatre is designed to train students interested in professional or academic work in the area of acting, directing, and technical theatre. The B.A.T. in Theatre allows students to graduate in four years with a certificate to teach theatre to grades K-12 in the state of Tennessee. Students in both programs will learn multifaceted skills needed to meet graduate and professional standards and will gain the knowledge of practices, styles, and standards within the technical field. The senior seminar and religion capstone demonstrate how these elements come together to equip the student for faith and learning. Students can also choose to minor in drama requiring a minimum of eighteen hours in specified studies.
