What Can I Do With a Degree in Theatre?
Perform on stage and under the spotlight, or operate things behind the curtain. Work for a production studio, theme park, or community theatre. Continue your education and teach the art of acting in K-12 schools and more.

2+2 = Savings
Here’s a secret: biology is biology no matter where you take the course. But the cost isn’t the same. Do your first two years at EICC and wipe out those required general education courses, then transfer to finish your Bachelor’s degree. The 24 months and 60+ credits you earn with us will cost less than one semester at most public or private universities. Save your money. High-quality and low-cost. That’s our niche.
