Bachelor of Arts or Science - Theater Arts

The Department of Theatre Arts combines a broad liberal arts education with practical experience through University Theatre productions and studio course work.

Students create purposeful works of art and use their voice to change the world. With outstanding facilities, knowledgeable faculty members, and a supportive theatre community, the University of Oregon’s Department of Theatre Arts provides everything students need to hone their craft and achieve their goals.  

Students will be given the opportunity to write, direct, and manage their own performances through classes and the Pocket Playhouse, a fully operational theater for undergraduates. In addition, students will study the history, literature, and cultural aspects of theater across the globe, providing them with a valuable liberal arts background. Students will learn practical skills such as playwriting, acting, wood construction, sewing, and stage management. Students will take risks and gain insight in a nurturing and engaging environment.
