A Well-Rounded Education
Directing majors, who are pursuing a BA degree typically fulfill the Global Citizenship Program with 10 general education courses: • A first-year seminar • Two courses with a focus on history • Two courses in the social/behavioral sciences • A course in intercultural/international studies • A course in the natural sciences • A course in mathematics
We have designed all our majors with a singular goal in mind: prepare artists to work professionally. Part of this effort involves offering a well-rounded college education. All theatre majors at Webster need to complete the Global Citizenship Program. The required set of general education classes seeks to nurture the skills necessary to confront 21 st century global challenges. Theatre majors pursuing a BFA degree fulfill the Global Citizenship Program with five general education courses: • A first-year seminar • A course with a focus on history (fulfilled by theatre history) • A course in the social/behavioral sciences or one in intercultural/ international studies • A course in the natural sciences or in mathematics • A culminating capstone class
• A course in arts appreciation • A culminating capstone class
*All major requirements are detailed in Webster’s Undergraduate Catalog .
A Well-Funded Education
Almost every full-time undergraduate student at Webster University receives some sort of financial aid. Webster’s Office of Financial Aid is committed to making a college education affordable. Additionally, the Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts awards annual scholarships designated specifically for theatre majors. In 2023-24, the department awarded over $225,000 in scholarships to its students.
Most of these awards are reserved for our third- and fourth-year students. Still, every year we allot some scholarships to first- year students. These awards are made in consultation with the recruiting faculty and with the Office of Financial Aid. There is no separate application process. Please contact Andrew Laue, Associate Director of Fine Arts Admissions at lauear@webster.edu , for additional information.
