How to Major in Theatre at OSU

To major in theatre at Ohio State, you need only be accepted into the university. At the time that you are accepted, or at any time in your study at OSU, you can declare a major in theatre. This can be done at the Arts Advising Office or in the Department of Theatre. If you are not yet a student at OSU, we encourage you to set up an appointment with the Undergraduate Studies Coordinator to tour our facilities and get information about the program. If you are already a student at OSU, we recommend that before you declare or change your major to theatre, you make an appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the department to discuss the program requirements.

Auditions and portfolio reviews are not required as part of acceptance into the BA. However, once you are accepted into OSU and have declared a major in theatre, we expect that you are deeply committed to the study of theatre and that you will maintain the highest levels of personal achievement within the program and across the entire arc of your studies.
