BS in Theatre Studies
University of Evansville — Evansville, IN
About this program
The University of Evansville is a private liberal arts university in Evansville, Indiana, enrolling approximately 2,300 undergraduates. Founded by the United Methodist Church in 1854, UE offers a tight-knit residential community with a distinctive academic asset: Harlaxton College in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England — UE's own British campus, established in 1971 in a Victorian manor house, offering a full semester abroad programme that is particularly popular with Theatre students seeking UK performance exposure. The Department of Theatre and the Music Conservatory each occupy a distinct position: UE Theatre is one of the most selective theatre departments in the United States, seeing approximately 1,700 auditions annually, accepting only around 40 first-year students — a faculty-to-student ratio that gives each student intensive individual mentorship and prolific production opportunities. The Music Conservatory is an entirely undergraduate institution (no graduate students), meaning students from their first year take on roles typically reserved for graduate students at larger programmes. The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra — a full metropolitan-sized professional symphony — provides string fellowship opportunities for UE's most exceptional students. Tuition: approximately $41,000/year (verify at evansville.edu).
