Bachelor of Arts in Theater
This progression demonstrates how each course in your academic plan serves a purpose—and, in this sample, it is focused on a performance concentration. Consult with your faculty advisor on your own unique progress through the curriculum to suit your goals. Please always remember that this is an example of a possible course progression through eight semesters to demonstrate that it is quite possible to graduate with a B.A. in Theater within that time framework. This is not a prescribed progression from semester to semester.
