Areas of Study

Harness the power of artistic language and performance

The department of human communication and theatre at Trinity University is a single administrative unit with two complementary, but relatively independent, academic programs, each with its own major and minor. Students following each track learn theory through a well-balanced curriculum and have chances to apply what they learn through participation in theatre performances, forensics competitions, and academic conferences.
