Our department—first in the field in the state of Georgia, emerging from one of the oldest collegiate dramatic clubs in the country—promotes the study and practice of dramatic art across all cultures and in all its current media, including: stage, film, theory and history, animation, and interactive media. Our alumni have entered a wide variety of careers from stage to screen to academia, law, business, and more. We offer two Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degrees—the A.B. in Theatre and the A.B. in Film —as well as undergraduate minors in theatre and film studies, a musical theatre performance certificate, and a Double Dawg A.B. Theatre/M.A Nonprofit Management and Leadership 5-year program. Both undergraduate programs 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 theatre or in film, and each major offers optional areas of emphasis in focus areas like acting, film production, directing/stage management, design, and more. Roughly 64% our theatre majors and general film majors pursue second majors or dual degrees, which is encouraged and usually manageable within four years, along with a wide variety of minors and interdisciplinary certificates. There is no "one way" to be a theatre or film major at UGA.
