The General Studies requirements for Chadron State College are available on a separate page for easy reference.
The mission of the Chadron State College Theatre Studies Program is to prepare students for professional and educational theatre through a comprehensive program of practical application of knowledge bases and skills as well as sound analytical and theoretical development. Through a global perspective on theatre, its practices, and its history, students are provided the diversity necessary to their development as an individual and responsible member of a world society.
The course of study is designed to prepare the student for a career in theatre and to encourage personal and artistic growth in a student-centered environment that places an equal value on classroom study and practical application. To this end, the program is dedicated to providing a classroom experience strong in historical, theoretical, and process oriented work combined with extensive practical opportunities in production in which students are encouraged and expected to play key roles as actors, designers, technicians, and directors.
