Southern Utah University鈥檚 Department of Theatre Arts and Dance offers students the opportunity to study the extensive art of theatre within a liberal arts curriculum. Courses are carefully designed to give students a broad understanding of the discipline, as well as various concentrations in different focus areas dependent on the needs of the student. Students majoring in theater arts can choose to emphasize in one of two areas: acting/directing or design/tech. Once an emphasis is chosen, a student works with the department advisor to make an individualized plan of study. There is great flexibility in choosing a plan of study due to many focus areas ranging from acting to education.

Our purpose is to encourage, promote, and sustain both a nurturing and challenging educational environment. Theatre arts at SUU engages all students in a set of diverse experiences intended to cultivate their aesthetic and creative potential while providing rigorous training within a chosen field.
