Effective Fall 2023


Through careful, intentional choices, the CFA School of Theatre Faculty & Staff worked for over two years to develop an elegant, sophisticated curriculum for the future of theatre teaching.

The new BFA Theatre and BFA Theatre Arts programs begin in the fall of 2023, with the first-year class, and will roll out each year moving forward, to complete in the spring of 2027. This careful, methodical implementation is a symbol of the thorough commitment our community made to achieve this effort.

Curriculum highlights:
  • Strong, interdisciplinary foundation of language and skills in the first year, including coursework on equitable & inclusive theatre practices
  • Focused study in a major core sequence and craft/skills courses in years 2-4
  • More flexibility for electives and/or fulfilling HUB requirements.

First-Year Theatre Core

All first-year BFA-Theatre students are admitted into the Theatre Core curriculum for either Performance or Design, Production & Management. The Theatre Core helps establish a common vocabulary, instills the School of Theatre’s core values, and encourages students to acquire tools and practice techniques that sharpen inherent instincts and intellects, encourage creativity, and open them up to broader levels of awareness, imagination, and expression. By acquiring a base of artistic, expressive, and collaborative skills, students begin to discover the breadth and depth of what it means to be a professional theatre artist today and explore all facets of theatre making before committing to a specific area of study.

At the end of their first year in the program, each student declares a major. This decision is reviewed by all members of the School of Theatre faculty before a student is officially enrolled in their major.

Successful completion of the Performance Core will result in the choosing of a major for advancement in:

  • Acting
  • Theatre Arts-Performance

Successful completion of the Design, Production & Management Core will result in the choosing of a major for advancement in:

  • Costume Design & Production
  • Lighting Design
  • Scene Design
  • Sound Design
  • Stage Management
  • Technical Production
  • Theatre Arts-Design & Production
Learning Outcomes
  • Demonstrate a foundational understanding of the art and craft of theatre through its historical significance and contemporary impact.
  • Demonstrate the ability to think, create, and collaborate in the art and craft of theatre.
  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of visual communication and collaborative storytelling within all aspects of Design, Production, & Management (Design, Production & Management Core only).

Hub Requirements

All BU undergraduate students, including both entering first-year and transfer students, will pursue coursework in the BU Hub, the University’s general education program that is integrated into the entire undergraduate experience. BU Hub requirements are flexible and can be satisfied in many different ways, through coursework in and beyond the major and, in some cases, through cocurricular activities. As part of the Theatre Core, CFA theatre students will begin to fulfill BU Hub requirements, ordinarily including at least two writing courses in the Communication area, as well as requirements in Philosophical Inquiry & Life’s Meanings, Aesthetic Exploration, Historical Consciousness, Oral and Signed Communication, Ethical Reasoning, Individual in the Community, and the Intellectual Toolkit. Remaining BU Hub requirements will be satisfied in the second, third, and fourth years through coursework within and outside the major or, in some cases, through cocurricular experiences.
