The Theater Arts
degree allows students to examine and experience
the relationship between drama as literary artifact
and drama as performance. Students are given technical
instruction in the craft of presenting plays with
particular emphasis on interpretation of drama
and its place within culture. In addition to the
intellectual abilities developed as in all liberal
arts programs – flexibility of mind, clarity
and precision in written and oral communication,
and an ability to negotiate the often confusing
world of human artifacts – students also
benefit from work with the technical side of dramatic
presentation.
Duquesne believes
strongly in the liberal arts approach to studying
Theater. This approach guarantees that students
will have the broadest understanding of all aspects
of Theater with a more intense knowledge of a
specific field of study within the theatrical
profession. Their education will prepare them
for work in all areas of theater as well as a
strong basis for further study at the graduate
level. Skills learned through the pursuit of Theater
are also strongly desired in the fields of Business,
Marketing, Public Relations, Teaching and Law.
