At Mount Allison, students involved in Drama Studies are challenged to work creatively, exploring new means of communication and expression — all within a cooperative collaborative environment.
The Drama Studies program is designed to provide an education in drama rather than professional training for the theatre.

Students begin their studies with an introduction to drama, followed by courses in:

acting
production
directing
design
dramatic theory
dramatic literature
In the final year of a major in Drama Studies, you'll complete your degree with one or two independent projects in areas of special interest.

This will allow you to work with a mentor from the faculty or staff to design and execute a major theatrical project in writing, design, directing, management, or acting.

The multi-functional Motyer-Fancy Theatre typically hosts up to ten shows each year, performed and crewed by students, with direction and design by a mixture of theatre professionals and senior students.

Drama Studies is available as:
BA major (60 credits)
Minor in any degree (24 credits)
Theatre Arts is available as an undergraduate certificate (15 credits).
