Western’s Theatre Arts program is the premiere undergrad program in the Pacific Northwest. The professors in the department focus all of their attention on educating and training the undergraduate theatre artists. Theatre studies include a core of practical theatre courses, with a focus on one or more concentrations within specific areas of interest. The central goal of theatre study is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of theatre, including knowledge of its history; the means by which theatre is realized; and the role of theatre in forming the past, present, and future of society.

The non-refundable application fee for international students is 60 USD.
