Theater Education Undergraduate Certificate

Pursue a combination of education and theater studies with the Theater Education Undergraduate Certificate in 51¶¯Âþ's School of Theater, Film and Media Arts. Open to all undergraduates enrolled at 51¶¯Âþ, this certificate program enhances students' self-confidence and presentation skills, improving their classroom presence and marketability. This five-course, 15-credit certificate program is taught on 51¶¯Âþ's Main Campus and equips students with a foundational understanding of theater and the tools needed to share that knowledge, whether in a traditional classroom setting or as a teaching artist in a professional theater company.

The Theater Education Undergraduate Certificate is an opportunity for students interested in teaching to improve their presence in front of a class. It also prepares them to add theater and drama to the range of subjects they can teach. The certificate includes the four courses that comprise the Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved Theater Endorsement.

For students pursuing areas of study outside of theater, this certificate provides a chance to develop an interest in arts education; gain theater experience; and further valuable professional skills such as collaboration, confidence in public speaking and creativity.

Students must be concurrently enrolled in a baccalaureate degree to earn this certificate.
