Welcome

We are proud that our programs of study are accredited by the:
        National Association of Schools of Theatre & National Association of Schools of Dance

We have many talented students who come to Appalachian to pursue their dreams of contributing to society as performing artists. We also invite students to discover their artistic passions while in college, as we are confident that the arts are a great place for ideas and "art-trepreneurship" to flourish. As the chairperson of Theatre and Dance, I am often asked, "but what do students with degrees in theatre and/or dance actually do?" And I am happy to report that we have recently completed a survey of our alums and have reassuring data to report, as we stress that our graduates must find their way to keep the arts alive in their lives:

  • 91% of our graduates in the past five years are employed or are in graduate or professional study.
  • 60% are in the workforce or are in graduate/professional training in the theatre, dance or related disciplines.

Please browse our website and explore the possibilities we offer.

For the next few months we are dedicated to honoring the service of Rosanne Peacock. She has made a difference in the lives of students, faculty and staff at Appalachian in ways no other “first ladies” of our university have.  Learn how you can contribute to this recognition and to the future of the department.
