Department Description:
The Theatre Department at the University of San Diego, housed within the College of Arts and Sciences, is home to actors, directors, playwrights and designers of the future. Our major, minor and MFA programs embrace theatre as a means to inspire humanity and engage a inclusive society. Through collaborative artistic exploration, both undergraduate and graduate programs train the individual to create within the ensemble.
Through the lens of playmaking, the undergraduate program focuses on developing empathy, critical analysis, creative problem solving and changemaking - integral parts of the liberal arts education at USD. The MFA in Acting program trains actors for careers in the professional theatre with special emphasis on classical works.
The College of Arts and Sciences is at the heart of the University of San Diego. Our philosophy is built on the enduring values of the Catholic intellectual tradition, immersing students in the concepts of free inquiry, ethical conduct and compassionate service. The College aims to establish an academic foundation for students to thrive and gain a comprehensive education, which spans the sciences, arts and social sciences. Through our exemplary liberal arts education and rigorous scholarship, we aspire to not only educate the mind but also develop the whole person.
