Degree Earned
Bachelor of Arts: Interdisciplinary Studies, concentration in theater/arts

This program provides students with a sound working knowledge of Theatre, including acting, directing, theatrical history, scenic, lighting and costume design and construction. Courses in Art, Music, Dance, Humanities and Computer Science enrich the program. TUMF provides studies and practical application experience in the Performance, Technical and Theory/History/Criticism areas. The campus theater is a versatile Studio style space with the ability to provide multiple staging configurations from thrust to full theatre-in-the round. Theatre UMF, the student theatre organization, with open auditions, mounts four to five productions each year. Theatre faculty and trained students both present one-act and full-length productions. Former students have used the knowledge and experienced gained in TUMF's program for work in summer and children's theater as well as local professional theatre and preparation for graduate theatre

programs.
