Theatre
The theatre program at Pacific University combines practical experience with rigorous academics. Students can major or minor in theatre. The program provides opportunities to perform, design, direct, write and study literature and history, all of which integrate theory and practice. Students graduating with theatre training go on to work in a variety of fields, including performance, production, arts management, teaching, law and many other professions that value communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. A degree in applied theatre also is available. Programs that combine well with theatre include media arts, business, English, education and music.
