BA in Visual and Dramatic Arts — Theatre Concentration
Rice University — Houston, TX
About this program
Rice University is a highly selective private research university in Houston, Texas, consistently ranked among the top universities in the United States. Under the Department of Visual and Dramatic Arts (VADA), Rice offers a BA in Visual and Dramatic Arts with a Theatre Concentration. Students are admitted to Rice University through the general undergraduate admissions process (not through a separate theatre audition) and declare their major once enrolled. VADA is housed within the School of Humanities and integrates visual art, theatre, and media studies. The theatre curriculum focuses on theatre practice, history, theory, and criticism. Because Rice is a research university rather than a conservatory, the Theatre program is integrated into a broad liberal arts education. Students benefit from being on the Rice campus and in Houston — the fourth-largest city in the United States and a major arts center with the Houston Grand Opera, Houston Ballet, the Alley Theatre, and the Houston Symphony.
