Drama
At UHD, Drama is a part of the Department of Arts and Humanities, along with Art, Communication Studies, Foreign Languages, Humanities, and Music. There is no Drama major at UHD, but it is possible to earn a B.A. in Fine Arts, or to minor in drama. There is a wide variety of course offerings for a student to choose from, taught by full-time and part-time faculty.

Basically, the drama program seeks to introduce students to live theatre and instill in them an understanding of and appreciation for this dramatic art form. It is designed to focus on and emphasize the development and education of the student, both on-stage and backstage.
As a faculty, we realize that not everyone who takes a drama course wants to become a professional actor or theatre technician. For those who do, we work to build a broad and strong foundation. For those who do not, we work to produce future theatre patrons. We also firmly believe that the study of theatre can be beneficial to any person in any profession. For this reason, we welcome everyone into our courses and activities.
Activities available to a student include: the presentation of a major production in O'Kane Theatre each fall and spring semester; periodic student-directed One-Acts; in-house theatre work parties; attendance at local productions; and drama trips to New York City and Athens, Greece. Each academic year, a schedule of production and activities is available.
Three different drama scholarships are available to students who qualify: the Rockwell Drama Scholarship, the Charles and Betti Saunders Drama Scholarship, and the Bill and Ann Stokes Drama Scholarship. Each is awarded on a semester basis.
