The Department of Theatre, Film and Creative Writing serves as a partnership of programs focusing on the learning, practice, and interaction of the dramatic, cinematic, and literary arts.
Our goal is to foster the rigorous intellectual investigation of form, practice, and theory and an active arts community through undergraduate research, professional training, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration between each of our programs.
