Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Drama (NDS)

Program Description The Honours Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Art program will provide students with a strong, participatory liberal arts degree in theatre studies. This program makes it possible for them to customize their degree to meet their career goals as a theatre practitioner/artist by choosing to study a concentration in the areas of performance, history/theory, and/or design/technical theatre.

The option to combine a theatre degree with a secondary area of study in the arts and social sciences is also a popular route. The opportunity to earn a certificate in arts management while completing this degree provides students with the added professional training through internships with local arts organizations. For those students who desire a broad exposure to the theatre, courses in acting, improvisation, contemporary theatre and Canadian theatre practice, directing, and television production are available.

This degree prepares students for direct entry into the theatre profession or, perhaps, could lead them towards graduate studies for further learning and specialization.
