Why Study Human Communication and Theatre at Trinity?
Studying human interaction and creative expression is central to a liberal arts education. Learning effective communication skills is also essential to thriving in both life and career.
Trinity offers programs in both human communication and theatre, both of which give students unparalleled access to real-world learning opportunities. Compete on a nationally recognized debate team, join the cast or crew of a campus production, present your research at an academic conference, join an improv group, get involved with student media, or gain international perspective during a semester abroad.
San Antonio is a fast-growing city with a vibrant creative scene, which gives our human communication and theatre students access to a vast range of internship and service-learning opportunities close to campus.
