BA in Theatre and Dance
Austin Peay State University — Clarksville, TN
About this program
Austin Peay State University's Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Dance is a flexible liberal arts degree designed for students who wish to combine theatre study with other academic interests. The BA program consists of 36 hours in the major and is intentionally structured to be accompanied by a second major or one to two minors, making it ideal for double-major students. Unlike the more specialized BFA track, the BA provides broad intellectual development alongside practical theatre training, allowing students to explore acting, production technology, theatre history, and directing in a well-rounded curriculum. The program encourages students to pursue creative careers while maintaining flexibility to study other disciplines such as English, business, or psychology. The Department of Theatre and Dance emphasizes performance, design, theory, and scholarship, with faculty who remain active professionals in their fields. Students benefit from a robust production schedule, exposure to guest artists through masterclasses and workshops, and real-world production experience that connects classroom theory to professional practice.
