The school recognizes theatre as a collaborative endeavor and a universal means of communication which incorporates talent, skills and intellect. It requires of the student a commitment of time, effort and devotion to studying and perfecting the craft of theatre arts.
Theatre is an ideal base for a liberal education that prepares students to pursue a wide range of career interests. The school supports and promotes innovative ways to achieve educational and professional goals, providing its students with flexibility in creating their own programs with a variety of choices and options.
Time spent at the School of Theatre will test students' abilities, discipline and will. The school will be a transition into the future, enabling the students of today to join their teachers and colleagues in creating the theatre of tomorrow.
The USC School of Theatre is enhanced by its proximity to an extremely active theatrical environment. The greater Los Angeles area is internationally recognized as the entertainment capital of the world. The school capitalizes on this unique location by bringing many theatre professionals into classroms to teach and mentor students and to work with the students in School of Theatre productions.
