Overview
Areas of Study
The Theatre program of the University of Colorado at Boulder offer preprofessional training to a limited number of highly-motivated and talented students aiming at professional careers. The BFA student can pursue one of three concentration areas: acting, design/technology/management and musical theatre.
Concentrations
Acting Concentration
Students accepted into the BFA acting concentration each year constitute an ensemble and follow the required sequence of courses as a group. Students in this concentration must fulfill the BA requirements in theatre, with specified electives, and are required to audition for theatre season productions each semester.
Design/Technology/Management Concentrations
In addition to the College of Arts and Sciences core requirements, students pursuing a BFA in design, technology or management must complete up to 67 credits in theatre and an additional 15 credits in other disciplines. Students who choose this concentration must elect one primary emphasis (design, technology or management) but may have opportunities to explore other emphases.
Musical Theatre Concentration
The BFA in musical theatre offers a rigorous concentration in theatre, music and dance to a select number of highly disciplined, motivated and talented students. In addition to the graduation requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences, this concentration requires 60 credit hours: 26 credit hours in THTR, 4 credit hours in DNCE and 30 credit hours in the College of Music. Students must confirm their decision to enroll as a musical theatre BFA upon acceptance following the audition and must meet immediately with a departmental advisor.
