Theatre, B.F.A. Avila University

Program Description

The 120 credit hour Theatre, B.A. degree is more of a theatre general studies program, while the concentrations with both the B.A. and the B.F.A. are professional undergraduate degrees in a liberal arts setting. The Department of Theatre provides undergraduate education consistent with the University’s liberal arts and professional emphases. The faculty assist with student career pathways and meeting professional and personal goals within the B.A. or B.F.A. Theatre faculty members have devised B.A. and B.F.A. curricula based on the latest approaches to and knowledge of the performance, design/technical, and historical/theoretical branches of the field. The B.A. is more of an overview of these three branches, while the B.F.A. concentrations allow for just that: a concentrated study of one professional area. The B.F.A. is responsive to the needs of the professional areas of acting, directing, design/technical theatre, and musical theatre. Unlike our conservatory competitors, the B.F.A. is firmly situated within a liberal arts university, and this is one of our program’s strongest assets.
