Theatre
Theatre majors at Wofford belong to an inclusive, supportive community of peers who learn by doing — on stage and in the classroom. Students study alongside passionate faculty and experienced professionals in bringing three major productions to life a year. At the end of their undergraduate education, students will have learned the habits of artistic and intellectual excellence: hard work, integrity, courage, collaboration, creativity, fun and play.
