Both majors provide a comprehensive introduction to the history, theory, and practice of these art forms within the context of a liberal arts education.

Undergraduates in theater study the history of world and American theater and drama, contemporary theater issues, acting and performance, play reading and analysis, design, directing, theater production, and complete a sequence of advanced courses in a specialization and a senior project.

Undergraduates in film and television study the history of film and television; screenwriting; film and television production, including cinematography, editing, directing the camera, and digital media and tools; and complete a senior concentration in one area of specialization and a professional internship.
