Overview

Rather than focusing on one specific area of theatre training or on a career in theatre, this program is designed primarily for students who have career aspirations in other fields such as primary/secondary education, communications, psychology/drama therapy, art, English, dance, history, etc. and who see theatre training as complementary to their primary studies. It is also designed for students who wish to pursue theatrical studies recreationally or as an avocation.

Key Facts

The Theatre Studies program at Slippery Rock University is the perfect choice for a student who has a passion for theatre and who can envision ways in which those studies will enrich their lives, their college experience, and possibly, their future careers. Students often have very specific goals in mind when choosing to combine theatre with other programs.

For instance, pairing an Education degree and Theatre Studies can prepare a student who wants to teach K-12 but also wants to be the school Drama Director. Pairing a degree in Psychology with Theatre Studies can prepare a student for advanced studies in Drama Therapy and Psychology.

Theatre and Communication studies can lead to many different career paths in film, television and related fields. Theatre and Dance prepare students for lives as entertainers. English, History, and Art are also commonly paired majors.
