Mission

The School of Communications and its major programs, in agreement with the university’s mission, educates students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies.  The School of Communications curricula strive to accomplish this within a framework that integrates liberal and professional education. The Theatre major provides quality undergraduate education and training in theatre within a traditional humanistic liberal arts environment.

Vision

A broad education that is rooted in the arts and sciences, as well as education in professional theater, provides students with an understanding of the global history and practice of dramatic art, and trains them in the fundamentals of production and performance.

Values

The theatre major values an education in the liberal arts and sciences, and maintains that a liberal education is necessary for both a satisfying personal life and a successful career in theatre.  Basic values of an education in theatre arts are self-expression, critical and creative thinking, and an historical and theoretical understanding of dramatic art.
