Study Abroad The Department of Theatre and Film Studies has a long history of studies abroad. Since 2000, the Department has sponsored a summer program in London, from 2009-2022 a summer program in Cortona, Italy, and starting in 2024 a summer program in Greece. The Athens and London programs are typically offered in alternating years. The Department also participates in a program in Tanzania administered through the Department of Comparative Literature, and a program in India administered through the Asian Studies Institute. The tradition of studies abroad is a strong one within the Department and there will continue to be opportunities for theatre and film study in other countries. Experiential Learning Information It's a simple concept - when you learn by doing, you learn differently. You learn more. You learn beyond subject matter – you also learn about yourself. At UGA, Experiential Learning is designed to deliver impact – for our communities, and above all, for our students. Experiential Learning can elevate a student’s trajectory, enhance competencies and enable opportunities, now and for years to come – that’s why it’s a (required) part of every UGA degree. Theatre majors fulfill this requirement through their work on UGA Theatre productions, and non-majors who participate onstage or on crew are eligible for this credit as well (through THEA 2040 or 5080; visit our advising page for more information). Film majors fulfill the requirement in a variety of ways, some through the course Directing for Cinema and others through internships, study abroad, or other opportunities. The Theatre and Film Leadership Forum is also developing a path for experiential learning credit this year and making participation part of the Comprehensive Learner Record as well.
