Dramatic Production
The Dramatic Production major will equip you to influence your culture for Christ in the field of dramatic arts. The BJU speech department accomplishes this goal through a strong Scriptural emphasis and an exposure to sound practices of dramatic production. You will interact in a broad range of dramatic and cultural activities enabling you to implement your training in a variety of contexts. We want you to be aware of the influence of dramatic arts in your culture and to be prepared to read perceptively, think critically, and communicate effectively.
