The Drama Studies concentration allows those with special interest in theater to take courses in literature which emphasize both drama and theater. Although the concentration is not intended to prepare students for careers in professional theater, Students benefit from the campus presence of the nationally know Professional Theater Program. Our majors are likely to go on to academic graduate programs, arts administration, professional training in theater, or teaching (with or without a theater emphasis).
