Bachelor of Arts - Drama Studies

Explore your creativity with a BA in Drama Studies at Mount Allison University. Join a collaborative environment and perform in our Motyer-Fancy Theatre!

Program Description 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. Students begin their studies with an introduction to drama, followed by courses in: acting, production, directing, design, dramatic theory, and dramatic literature. In the final year of a major in drama studies, students will complete their degree with one or two independent projects in areas of special interest. This will allow them 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 new 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.
