Students must apply for admission to the teacher education program at the end of their sophomore year.

USM theatre majors recently performed the play "What Can a Woman Do?", adapted by Van Ibsen for the Sister's of Charity 150 year jubilee. The play will be presented at the Folly Theatre, March 16, 2008 in two performances at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm..

“We provide “hands on” real experience in the theatre. Our alumni believe in their education from USM. We would love to compare a senior theatre student’s resume with any other university in the U.S.A.”
