Comments:
The Theatre Arts Major supports the goals and objectives of Loyola Marymount University by offering an academically rigorous undergraduate education in the humanities. The study of theatre engages the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) and encourages students to see their studies in a broad social, ethical, and cultural context. The department approaches the study of theatre with the view that theatre is a laboratory for the study of the whole of life. The department is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as in cultivating an anti-racist ethos, practice and support system.
LMU's School of Film and Television is consistently ranked among the best film schools in the world. Offering small class sizes, cutting-edge facilities and innovative, student-centered curriculum providing a unique opportunity for students to hone their technical and creative skills as they prepare to become the next generation of storytellers, scholars, and industry leaders.
