The Department of Theatre and Media Arts
The Department of Theatre and Media Arts believes the study of theatre and media arts is truly a study of humankind and its attitudes as revealed in artistic expression.
The University’s theatre program is designed to educate students in a basic foundation of dramatic literature, theatre history, theory, performance skills as both actor and director while providing new, innovative techniques in all areas of theatre design technology and production.
BYU’s media arts program is designed to educate students with a foundation of film history, theory, and criticism, along with the fundamental production competencies in film, television, animation, and interactive multimedia.
