Theatre at WKU

Theatre on the Hill

The Department of Theatre & Dance offers 2 majors for students of theatre, and 3 possible minors. Our B. A. in Theatre is designed to offer students a broad exploration of theatre while also leaving room to include a minor (or to double major) in another discipline. Our BFA in Performing Arts degree provides both a broad study of theatre while also offering intensive pre-professional training in one of four required areas of concentration: acting, directing, music theatre, or theatre design & technology.  Our minors in Theatre, Music Theatre, and Performing Arts Administration are intended to augment your studies in another major.
