Program Information
The Theatre and Communication Arts Department
offers courses serving students in the areas of
performance, directing, theatre history and dramatic
literature, and stage design and technology. The
department offers courses in film history and criticism,
video production, and speech communication. Students who
may desire to major in Theatre and Communication Arts

The Theatre Arts program at Whittier College is firmly
based in the liberal arts tradition. Students majoring
within the department follow a program of study designed
to stimulate awareness of our cultural traditions and to
explore the creative abilities of each individual. This
program provides pre-professional training for those who
plan to seek a career in the performing arts, to prepare
for graduate school, or to pursue careers in other
allied fields including teaching. Recent graduates have
found that their education in the department has
prepared them for careers in personnel, education, sales
and advertising, business, law, and publishing, as well
as acting, directing, design and technical direction,
writing, film, television, and the themed entertainment
industry.
