Bachelor of Fine Arts - Theatre

Midwestern State University (MSU Texas) offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre. The theatre program at MSU Texas is devoted entirely to undergraduate instruction. As a result, motivated, capable students find themselves quickly involved not only in the classroom, but also in production work on stage and backstage. The program emphasizes the importance and interrelatedness of all aspects of theatre: performance, design, technical theatre, and scholarship. The theatre faculty members seek to cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration, ensemble, and mutual respect. While the program is broad enough to cover the essential areas of the discipline, it also allows for specialization. Theatre students are required to complete a basic core of courses covering theatre history, dramatic analysis, acting, directing, design, and technical theatre. They then select an emphasis in performance or design/technology.
