About the program
If you're serious about a theatre career, USI's Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Theatre Arts can give you a great start.
You'll work alongside theatre pros, both in class and on the set, while earning a top-notch theatre degree that covers acting, writing, directing, technical theatre and everything in between.
Our theatre program stages professional-quality productions in the $20 million USI Performance Center (opened in Spring 2015) with state-of-the-art design studios and production shops. What's more, as a theatre major at USI, you'll have the chance to:
Get professional experience through the Repertory Project, which allows students to perform alongside union actors from New York and elsewhere.
Earn Actor's Equity points that give you a head start on a professional theatre career.
Work on theatre productions as a freshman, instead of waiting years for a chance.
Take all your performing arts classes with experienced faculty (never graduate students).
Belong to a supportive, tight-knit community of talented theatre majors.
