Key Features of Our BA Customization Our core courses help you experience the connectedness of different areas of theatre. Beyond the core, you choose electives that meet your individual goals. You may continue to explore multiple areas of theatre or focus on one single area. Flexibility Courses are not offered in sequences, so if you are interested in double majoring, adding a minor or two, or studying abroad, you can usually complete your degree in four years. You also have the freedom to change your focus as you encounter new learning experiences. Engaged learning Participation in productions is part of your degree! You earn credit working on department productions in any capacity. Qualified undergraduates can design and direct in the production season under the mentorship of a faculty of working artists and scholars. Personal attention Small class sizes (usually 15 or fewer students) allow for more personal interaction and one-on-one mentoring. You will also be assigned a member of the theatre faculty to serve as your academic advisor. Professional networking As a first-year student, you'll engage with Miami's Center for Career Exploration and Success to begin thinking about life after college. Juniors take a course in professional preparation, and seniors take a networking trip to a major city (typically Chicago) every fall. Our Thriving Artist Network connects you with Miami alumnae working in the industry, helping you make that leap to a new city when you graduate. Accreditation The Department of Theatre is fully accredited with the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) and holds memberships and/or affiliations with the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, Black Theatre Network, the United States Institute for Theatre Technology, Mid-American Theatre Conference, Southeast Theatre Conference, and the American Society for Theatre Research.
