BA in Theatre
Auburn University — Auburn, AL
About this program
The BA in Theatre at Auburn University is a comprehensive, liberal arts-based degree program that offers students the opportunity to engage deeply in all aspects of creating, curating, and critiquing performance. Built on a solid foundation in theatre history, literature, and critical thinking, the program allows students to explore theatre as an aesthetic object, a vehicle for social justice, and a vital means of communication in communities. BA students have the flexibility to tailor their education to their interests—whether in acting, design, critical theory, technical theatre, dramaturgy, or stage management—while developing transferable skills applicable across education, business, and the arts. The program emphasizes theatre's ability to connect local and regional perspectives to national and global contexts. BA students are actively involved in the department's production season, workshops with guest artists, and special opportunities including study abroad programs in Galway, Ireland and Barcelona, Spain. They also engage with companies like the Mosaic Theatre Company and have opportunities to direct student productions and pursue internships. Designed for intrepid explorers, the BA prepares graduates for diverse career paths—from professional theatre careers and starting theatre companies to teaching high school theatre or pursuing graduate degrees.
