“There isn’t another school in the country that has this many people on our list for consideration. It’s a credit to your sharp eyes in recruiting and the strong challenges you provide these students with that so many stand so strong in the competitive market for MFA training.” – Jack Young, Director, Graduate Acting & Directing, University of Houston MFA

The BA in Theatre Studies combines studies in theatre with broad preparation in the liberal arts. Students master the fundamentals of acting, directing, history, and design/technology and can use theatre electives to concentrate further in other specific areas of interest. This concentration is designed for current WMU Theatre students whose academic pursuits require a flexible program of study. Theatre students must complete an application with the Department Advisor for admission to this concentration following the completion of 36 hours of study, 15 of which must be in Theatre.
