Education Abroad
All the world's a stage...
Theatre majors have worked with the to find exchange programs and co-sponsored programs to many different countries. Several majors have attended the British American Drama Academy. Why not Spain, or Japan, or Sydney...or Miami Luxembourg?
Although Theatre courses are not regularly taught in Luxembourg, many of our majors have spent a semester there taking Global Miami Plan courses or tackling requirements of a second major or minor. It's just a short train ride to some of the best theatre in Europe! »
