Student Information

Academics

Scholarships

The Theatre Arts Department does not offer any official scholarship. Students do, however, have the opportunity to audition/interview for a performance/production internship with The Alluvion Stage Company, where compensation may be offered. Visit the Financial Aid website to learn about other scholarships that may be applicable to you.

Internships

There is an internship available. However, an internship is not a graduation requirement.

Senior Project

The Senior Project is a graduation requirement. The details of the project may vary according to each student’s concentration within the major, but all must be approved by the department. The project is a capstone of the student’s major and must occur during the student’s final semester of study.

THEA 300

THEA 300 is a way to get credit for working in/with a Theatre Arts production. THEA 300 is a TBA section because the times will coincide with rehearsals and performances of a production. Students audition/interview for each production, and must be selected by the directors to act or work backstage in a production to be eligible for THEA 300 credit.

Auditions, Rehearsals and Performance Process
