Because theatre practitioners are required to have a broad base of multidisciplinary knowledge, the Department of Theatre Arts believes that the strongest and best preparation for a career in theatre is an excellent liberal arts education. The natural sciences provide a structure for understanding how life works; the humanities give us ways to explain our experiences; the social sciences offer a variety of useful paradigms with which we can navigate through diverse societies. The arts give us the opportunity to synthesize those perspectives. Artistic expressions of the human experience are designed such that we can stop time, step back and reflect on what we think we know, what we are feeling, and what may lead us to compassion and understanding. This journey is an adventure that may transform our lives and the lives of others.
