The programme is committed to being actively involved in artistic programmes of the highest quality while offering students the opportunity and means for training in the ability to perceive, create, appreciate, and associate and above all to practice the multi arts and crafts of the theatre. The basic thrust of the programme is professional expertise in production, performance and community service. While scholastic achievement in theory is considered essential to the educated theatre practitioner, equal emphasis is placed upon the development of the students as a self reliant individual and as a professional creative artist. As a member of the Faculty of Humanities, the Theatre Arts Programme is geared towards contributing to the development of the ebullient culture of the people and the promotion of the human artistic excellence.

In recognition of the Philosophical statement above, the programme has the following objectives:

a. To provide for the student a liberal and professional education with the arts of the theatre at the core.

b. To enable students appreciate the fact that theatre is a group and collaborative arts, and as such, training acquired in the course will help foster the spirit of cooperation and tolerance in the individual artist.

c. To promote artistic activism through a vigorous and challenging production oriented experience.

d. To nurture the creative abilities of the students into packaging a finished product for the competitive market.
