DEGREES

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degree is offered to students interested in the study of theatre within a liberal arts framework, or as part of a teacher education program. Because theatre is by nature inter-disciplinary, it is an excellent way to enhance a general education, encouraging artistic sensitivity and skills in critical-thinking, communication and collaboration.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts
Competitive and demanding, B.F.A. is a program of study for students interested in pursuing careers in professional theatre. Areas of specialization are Performance or Design/Technology (scenery, costumes or lighting). Entry into the program is by audition or portfolio review during the sophomore or junior year, and requires faculty approval for acceptance. The progress of B.F.A. candidates is monitored closely each semester, utilizing performance juries and portfolio reviews.

The Master of Fine Arts
The department offers Idaho’s Idaho’s only Master of Fine Arts in theatre. Areas of specialization available: Performance, Directing or Design/Technology (scenery, costumes or lighting). In addition to UI’s graduate school admission requirements, the M.F.A. Program in theatre requires a 3.0 GPA, a statement of goals or intent, three letters of recommendation, and (for design applicants) a design portfolio (for acting students) a four- to six-minute audition tape.
