Welcome to the Department of Speech Communication and Theatre
Communication, rhetoric, argumentation, and debate have roots that can be traced to ancient Greece and the beginnings of western civilization. Acting, theatrical design, storytelling, and even directing, share those origins. Though our lineage is similar we are two very different divisions housed within the same department here at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Speech Communication Division
Students can earn a Bachelor of Arts or a Master of Arts in Speech Communication. Our programs offer a social science approach to the theoretical and applied process of communication. Faculty expertise and curriculum emphasize three areas of communication: interpersonal, organizational and public. Qualified students in the master’s degree program receive teaching assistantships. Assistantships provide both financial support and valuable experiences in teaching.
The University of Nevada, Reno has a highly successful Debate and Forensics program housed in Speech Communication. The team is regularly competitive in national debate meets.
Theatre Division
Theatre offers either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is recommended for theatre students who hope to pursue a professional career in the theatre. Two significant tracks of study, performance and design & technology, are available, though all students receive a well rounded education in each. The theatre curriculum provides a balanced set of experiences in practical application and theory and history.
The Nevada Repertory Company, the production unit of the theatre division, mounts a wide variety of theatrical productions each year. Students have the opportunity to work on new work, classic plays, musical theatre and every now and then something unexpected. The collaborative nature of theatre is valued, upheld, and promoted.
Faculty
Both Speech Communication and Theatre are populated with intelligent, creative, caring instructors willing to spend time with University of Nevada students. Faculty in both divisions are eager to teach and learn from our students.
I invite you to contact me or any of my colleagues with questions about our program.
