Bachelor of Arts in Drama (Honors)

The Honors in Drama is a designation designed to recognize the generalist undergraduate Drama student, one who has chosen to focus on breadth in their education, as opposed to depth in one area. Such students are often ineligible to be considered for Honors in a specific area (Acting, Design, etc.), and the Honors in Drama designation is a recognition of the high quality of scholarship and work that the student has accomplished within the Department.

The B.A. in Drama is part of a larger education which includes close consideration of world history and politics, human psychology and desire, music, dance, literature and art, visual and aural aesthetics, and both ancient and contemporary technologies of communication. While Drama is rightfully considered an entertainment, it is an entertainment that begins with the greatest literature ever written from the classics of Euripides, Shakespeare and Molire to modern Americans like Tennessee Williams, August Wilson and David Henry Hwang as presented in the most sophisticated performance techniques from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas developed over 3,000 years. And Theatre the practice of Drama is a hands-on collaboration that involves real-time interactions with other artists, and displaying the results to real-life audiences.
