Student Handbook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The performing and visual arts are important components of the academic and cultural life of the UWSP campus. The emphasis placed on preparing students for professional careers in the arts contributes to UWSP\u2019s uniqueness within the University of Wisconsin System. Culturally, the quality of theatre and dance performances at UWSP brings state, regional, and national recognition to the Department of Theatre and Dance and our high quality academic and production programs have established UWSP as the primary undergraduate center in Wisconsin for students interested in studying the performing arts. This handbook will orient theatre and dance majors and minors to the Department of Theatre and Dance and answer fundamental questions about the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStudent Handbook <\/i><\/a>\n<\/div>
