Students majoring in Drama may elect one of four concentrations: Drama, Acting and Directing, Design and Production, and Theatre Arts with Teacher Licensure. All the concentrations are built on a strong foundation of courses in technical production and acting at the introductory level, theatre history at the intermediate level, and dramatic literature at the advanced level. Each concentration provides students with the opportunity to focus their artistic and educational interests and to prepare themselves for specific careers.

The Theatre of the University of North Carolina at Asheville is the production laboratory for the major in Drama. Here, under public scrutiny, students test the theories and practices they study in the classroom and, along with Drama faculty, engage their creative powers and hone their skills as artists.
