The Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) offers a comprehensive education in theater as a unified field, combining drama, dance, theater design/technology, and critical studies. The program emphasizes the integration of all theater disciplines, preparing students for diverse careers in professional theater, dance, education, film, television, arts administration, and related fields. The curriculum includes interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on production experience, participation in faculty- and student-directed productions, and opportunities for original creative work. Majors focus both on practical skills and performance theory, with exposure to Euro-American and non-Western traditions, as well as the impact of digital and new media on theater. Students must complete 15 five-unit and 3 two-unit courses (total 81 units, including 40 upper division units), and fulfill a production requirement through significant participation in university theater productions, often via competitive audition or application. 来源： https://play.ucsc.edu/academics/graduate/ma-theater-arts/
