About the Program
UMBC Theatre fosters artistically innovative and socially engaged graduates in a leading liberal arts program. Using the latest technologies and practices, we experiment with theatrical forms, create provocative new work, and give voice where it is most needed.
The Theatre Education Track aligns to the Secondary School Teacher Certification for the State of Maryland. Whether or not a student intends to pursue certification, this track will also prepare a theatre-maker for professional teaching opportunities within the industry.
Students will not be required to complete the Secondary Education Certification to finish their degree. If they choose not to pursue Certification, the 9 credit hours of teaching-specific training will prepare graduates for in-demand opportunities as teaching artists, housed at nearly every professional theatre company within the US, especially here in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia metro region.
The Theatre Education Track combined with Secondary Education Certification totals 120 credits, an achievable goal for two year transfer study.
How to Apply
Admission to the BA in Theatre, Theatre Education Track does not require any prerequisite screening. However, talented incoming freshman who bring prior accomplishments are encouraged to apply for the Linehan Artist Scholar Program, which requires an audition or portfolio review, and interview.
