Internships
Internships are an integral part of the Theatre major. All majors are required to complete an internship experience or an independent study project.  The internship experience usually occurs in the junior or senior year or in the summer between.  Theatre faculty routinely advise and assist students in finding good internships.  An internship is normally for three semester hours of credit. Typically students to spend between 125 and 150 hours at the internship site or about eight to ten hours per week.  More details are found on our Internship Page.

The Department has excellent facilities supporting our programs.
