Drama

Improvise a scene, be a Shakespearean hero, improve your voice, tell a story, learn what makes a character tick, even perform in public!

The study of drama is far from a vocational exercise. Familiarity with theatre and other arts provides essential life skills that manifest themselves in a variety of employment settings.

Any career that requires you to deal with the public, communicate verbally, and respond spontaneously would benefit from a Drama class or two. Graduates of the Drama program are ‘performing’ in their chosen careers, whether it be on stage, in classrooms or boardrooms. Drama courses will help you discover your role in the ‘creative’ economy.

The Drama stream of the BA in Creative Arts is composed of 30 credit hours consisting of a variety of courses offered by the Drama Program. A three year minor requires 15 credit hours and a four year minor 18 credit hours. 18 credit hours also qualifies as a ‘teachable’ subject for any future secondary school teachers.
