Curriculum

The Department of Drama has four distinct tracks; General, Acting and Directing, Design and Production, and Licensure. Despite the separate tracks, all students are required to work in all areas of the theatre with the objective of creating a core knowledge base that can easily be used as a foundation for each track. Classes are intended to create a well rounded theatre artist that can use their knowledge and skill sets in many ways during their time as life long learners.

The Theatre of the University of North Carolina at Asheville is the production laboratory for the major in Drama. Here, under public scrutiny, students test the theories and practices they study in the classroom and, along with Drama faculty, engage their creative powers and hone their skills as artists.
