Department Goals

The Department of Theatre and Film Studies seeks to help students to understand the dramatic arts from the perspectives of both informed audience members and godly-wise arts practitioners, by developing both critical and production skills, and developing Christian ethical problem-solving skills as students contemplate the professional theatre and film worlds as a “mission field” in need of Christian intervention.

Teacher Certification

Theatre Pre-MAT

Students who are interested in teaching drama at the P-12 level should complete a BA degree with a major in theatre and then enroll in the one-year Master of Arts in Teaching at Covenant College. It is recommended that the Education Minor be completed. Two of the courses in the minor, EDU 222 Educational Psychology and EDU 361 Education of Exceptional Children , are required for admission to the MAT. For information about certification, see Teacher Certification under the Education section of the catalog.

See Dr. Phil Horton in Brock Hall 323 for more information (phil.horton@covenant.edu).
