Theatre; a concurrent B.A./B. Ed. and Co-op options in Drama in Education,
Theatre and Dramatic Literature. The various streams in the department are
integrated by a common emphasis on praxis. The department's significant
expansion of students and faculty over the past five years is due in large
part to the success of this integrated intellectual and practical approach,
as well as a dynamic connection with professional affiliates and diverse
local communities.
