The School of Dramatic Art at the University of Windsor is recognized as one of Canada's top training schools for a dramatic art education.
Five undergraduate degree programs are offered by the school:
- Drama in Education and Community Theatre with a concentration on Applied Theatre
- Concurrent General (Drama) and Education
- Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree
Each program provides a high degree of practical coursework, as well as academic classes in theatre and the liberal arts.
Work as an actor, stage manager, assistant director, design assistant or designer, crew supervisor, or house manager to hone your skills as you progress through your program. You’ll graduate with a wealth of knowledge and an extensive resumé, as well as a degree.
Most classes are held in our spacious, Jackman Dramatic Art Centre, featuring sprung wood floors and integrated sound and video systems, along with a studio theatre and an ample student lounge. Other classes are held in newly-renovated "smart" classrooms around the campus.
Our professors believe in nurturing the artist and educator in you. They are professionals, each working in their chosen fields outside the university as actors, directors, community-based theatre practitioners, and scholars. They are award-winning teachers, as well.
Once you graduate you will join a group of illustrious alumni who work in professional and educational theatre. Many are award-winners in their own right, with Dora Mavor Moore Awards, Genie Awards, teaching, and career achievement awards among their accomplishments.
