Overview

Through applied study and hands-on experience, students in the Theatre Arts program of Stetson University learn about the world around them. This training for the "real world” will prepare you for a variety of careers in our ever-changing world.

Theatre arts plays a unique role in emphasizing creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and cross-disciplinary approaches. Our focus on the practice strikes a balance between study and application, between academic and professional opportunities and between performance and technology—with all students collaborating on an equal footing, whether as actors, technicians, designers and directors. Your learning experience will be enhanced by one-on-one faculty mentoring as well as the development of relationships with outside arts organizations.

Key Facts

With an emphasis that is both on-stage and backstage, graduates from Stetson's theatre arts program are acclimated to working in a creative, collaborative environment. Students are given an opportunity to work on at least four productions a year and learn that the “show must go on” applies not only to the stage, but life as well. Growth in this sector is higher than the overall labor market, and most positions require a bachelor's degree. About a third of openings are available to candidates with 0-2 years of experience, so internships and practical opportunities are important to starting a career path.
