Overview

Theatre from Rockford University gives students a unique opportunity to explore theatre in an innovative, experimental environment where they can express themselves creatively, study the performing arts in their historical-cultural context, and participate in departmental programs and productions.

Our faculty members believe in a hands-on approach of positive instruction and guidance to nurture creative and intellectual abilities. Classes are small for maximum student-teacher interaction. Some courses involve team-teaching to provide a full understanding of the interrelationships of dance, music and theatre.

Careers and Internships

Graduates in the performing arts may choose from a variety of career options. Some attend professional training schools and/or graduate school for further concentration in their studies in dance, music, or theatre. Others earn certification through the Rockford University education department and teach at the primary or secondary level.

Performing arts graduates often pursue careers in jobs requiring presentational abilities: teaching, advertising, public relations, radio, sales, television, repertory and community theatres, recreation and film. The performing arts degree also may lead to a career in the performing arts, arts therapy, private studio teaching, or arts management.
