The B.F.A. in Theatre Arts is a Professional Degree. Each concentration in the B.F.A. Theatre Arts degree program will consist of 62 hours in the major. Acceptance in the B.F.A. program is through audition-only. Most Theatre and Dance classes are restricted to BFA/BA majors and minors. Exceptions must be approved by the instructor of record or by the Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. In addition to this degree, the Department of Theatre and Dance also offers a B.A. in Theatre Arts with concentrations in Dance and Theatre, a Theatre Minor, and a Dance Minor. Admission Criteria Entrance into the B.F.A. Theatre Arts program and scholarship consideration is by way of a successful audition and/or portfolio review and interview.
