Welcome to the Department of Theatre and Film Studies

The Department of Theatre and Film Studies offers four degree programs: two are Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in drama and the other in film studies, and two are graduate degrees, the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Both bachelor's degrees are liberal arts degrees providing an exposure to several fields of knowledge in the physical, biological and social sciences, the humanities and the arts while also allowing a concentration in drama or film studies.

The master's degree program is pre-professional in nature, offered with concentrations in several specialties of dramatic art: acting, scenic and lighting design, costume design, and dramatic media. Finally, the doctorate is a scholarly degree with a program that emphasizes research in the history and theory of dramatic art in all its media.
