Do you have questions about where a theatre arts degree can take you? Our liberal arts approach to education provides the framework for an adaptable, multitalented graduate.<\/p>\n
While a degree in theatre arts brings to mind future careers in directing, acting, stage management, production assistance, or stage design, theatre majors also prove to be successful in a variety of careers and creative pursuits. Our graduates leave prepared for wherever their interests take them, whether that be the entertainment industry, marketing, event planning, non-profit management, writing, dancing, broadcasting, or teaching. Students learn and refine skills such as time management, problem solving, organization, leadership, and teamwork, all valuable in any occupation.<\/p>\n
Our program provides students with the means to develop their technical skills, in addition to their critical thinking, communication skills, and capacity for collaboration.<\/p>\n
We ensure our graduates are as well-rounded as possible, granting them plenty of opportunities to try their hand at playwriting, acting on stage, backstage assistance, or even marketing productions put on by Furman. Shop assistant work-study positions are available to those interested in delving into the craft of carpentry, costume technology, electrics, or sound engineering.<\/p>\n
And even if you decide a degree in theatre may not be for you, you are always welcome to join our casting call to give an audition.<\/p>\n
