Overview
Our on-campus theatre and digital filmmaking program will provide you with real-world creative experiences for stage and screen. The “learn by doing” nature of the curriculum teaches you the theory and practice of professional theatre production and digital filmmaking techniques. You’ll have the opportunity to experience everything from acting to designing to writing to directing. You’ll have numerous opportunities to perform, create and collaborate in theatre and digital video projects. Along the way, you’ll discover your creative voice in the dynamic mediums of stage and screen.
Graduates go on to work as writers, producers, directors, editors, designers, actors and more in the highly creative and competitive theatre, film/TV and video production industries.
An on-campus theatre minor is also available in this program for students who want to expand their knowledge and skills in that specific area.

It’s a small university with great professors and fellow students. It’s been easy to get doors to open – either one at a time or all at once. One of my communicating arts professors, Tom Hansen, encouraged me to apply for a job at Fox21. It’s been an amazing experience.
