BA in Theatre and Media Arts Education

The TMA Department is involved with several initiatives that are aimed at the improvement of both Theatre and Media Arts education in public schools and in the family.  For several years, TMA students and faculty have sponsored and participated the Young Company, an acting company which performs plays for schools and young audiences.  Recently, the TMA Department has launched its Children's Media Initiative, a program designed to help families and communities understand, enjoy and make edifying use of the media in their lives.  The department has also sponsored the Daylight Media Project, which features websites where educators can download and share lesson plans for theatre and film classes. Click one of the links below to reach these websites.

Students working towards a degree in Theatre and Media Arts Education will have numerous opportunities to gain a sound background in educational theory and pedagogy as well as experience in theatre performance and production.  Students will also get hands-on experience teaching in a classroom through practicum and student teaching.
