Visual & Performing Arts- Theater Arts A.A. Degree

CSCU Transfer Theater Studies A.A./A.S. Degree

Theater Program Overview

Theater offers a challenging course of study to both new and experienced theater artists. In contrast to most large universities, our students have many opportunities early in their study to assume a variety of production roles, spanning the entire gamut from acting to set design. The hands-on experience you build here at NVCC will form an excellent foundation for entry-level jobs or transfer to a four-year program. Though a combination of classroom training, production experience opportunities, and community service outreach, you will develop the creative and intellectual potential that lead to individual, artistic, and professional development.
