DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre


The Theatre Major is a flexible BA degree with required coursework in five main categories: history and text, design, performance, production, and experiential learning. Within that core, however, we have not chosen to offer tightly controlled sequences focused on discrete skill development because such sequences provide too little opportunity for curricular choice on the part of the student. With our BA, you can individualize your program, deciding when to take required courses to best suit your particular interests. You can customize your program of study to focus on acting, new works development, design, or technical theatre based on the ways you select from our rich array of electives. Because our program is flexible, students are able to take advantage of the breadth of courses available across Ohio State's campus. Our majors regularly undertake minors, second majors, study abroad experiences, internships, and senior honors or distinction projects.

Faculty Info:

Vera Brunner-Sung, Stratos E. Constantinidis, Thomas Dugdale, Amanda Fox, Nadine George-Graves, Dan Gray, Kristine Kearney, Kevin McClatchy, Alex Oliszewski, Janet Parrott, Ana Elena Puga, Brad Steinmetz, Jeanine Thompson.
