BA in Theatre
University of South Carolina Aiken — Aiken, SC
About this program
The University of South Carolina's Bachelor of Arts in Theatre is a nationally accredited program offering comprehensive training in acting, directing, design, stage management, and technical theatre. Located within the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences, the program provides a conservatory-style environment with a low student-to-faculty ratio, ensuring personalized attention for each student. Students can tailor their experience through either a general theatre major (31 hours) or specialized concentrations in Performance or Design and Technology (40 hours). The program features three distinct performance venues—an arena stage (one of the few in the region), a proscenium stage, and a black box laboratory space—along with a full costume shop and scenic studio. Beyond technical training in acting, design, and technical areas, students develop critical skills in collaboration, project management, creative problem-solving, communication, and leadership. The program is enriched by a guest artist program that brings professional directors, actors, and designers from around the world to mentor students.
