Theatre Studies, B.A.
NU’s BA in Theatre Studies is a non-audition program designed for students seeking the quality of our department’s training with greater flexibility than the BFA curriculum. Students can customize their coursework to focus on areas such as acting, musical theatre, dance, theatre history, or design and production while maintaining the freedom to pursue a second major and explore the broader liberal arts.
