Students work with advisors to build an individualized course of study in multiple areas of interest. For example, you can combine acting with directing, musical theatre with playwriting, or costume design with stage management.
Develop a set of skills and experience to confidently enter the world of professional theatre. Take advantage of Nebraska Wesleyan's active production schedule and opportunities to customize your learning and gain practical experience to build your resume.
You can also craft an interdisciplinary BFA degree combining multiple departments in a single course of study, such as theatre design and art history, directing and business management, acting and psychology.
