Welcome The Department of Theatre and Film Studies is housed in the Fine Arts Building Our department—first in the field in the state of Georgia, emerging from one of the oldest collegiate dramatic clubs in the country—promotes the study and practice of dramatic art across all cultures and in all its current media, including: stage, film, animation, and interactive media. Our alumni have entered a wide variety of careers from stage to screen to academia, business, and more. We offer two Bachelor of Arts (AB) degrees—the A.B. in Theatre and the A.B. in Film—as well as undergraduate minors in theatre and film. Both undergraduate programs offer optional areas of emphasis including acting, film production, design, etc. and are liberal arts degrees providing an exposure to several fields of knowledge in the physical, biological and social sciences, the humanities and the arts while also allowing a concentration in theatre or in film. Many of our students pursue second majors or dual degrees, which is usually manageable within four years.
