BA in Theatre Education
The BA degree in Theatre Education involves the use of theatre in a variety of educative settings, in addition to formal K-12 teaching. Some students will choose to pursue certification for K-12 Teachers of Drama; all use the program to develop interests and expertise in a wide range of theatre areas. Students in Theatre Education often do two full years of acting work at Emerson and some, with the permission of the Acting faculty, will do two additional semesters of work.
