Ball State University's theatrical studies option is intended for students who want a broad-based study of the theatre discipline; who want to pursue careers in stage, playwriting or theatre management; or who want to continue their theatrical studies beyond the baccalaureate level in areas not offered in the department's more specialized options.
Students completing this program generally pursue a professional career or continue their training in graduate school. Alumni work in nearly all areas of entertainment business. Learn more about the success of our graduates.
Students must earn and keep a 3.0 or better GPA after earning 36 credit hours or they will be placed on academic probation, they will be dismissed from the Theatrical Studies Option. Students may audition or submit portfolio reviews for other options within the department.
Admission to this program does not require an audition. Any student accepted by Ball State may declare a theatre major with the theatrical studies option. Students pursuing double majors often prefer this option. An audition or interview is required, however, for all students applying for scholarships.
