CCU Department of Theatre earns double ranking in top programs nationwide

OnStage, one of the leading blogs on the theatrical profession, has ranked Coastal Carolina University No. 13 on its list of the top 25 BFA Theatre Design and Tech programs in the country and No. 25 on its list of the top BFA musical theatre programs for 2018-19. This marks the second year the design and tech program has been ranked on the OnStage list.

This honor confirms the quality and innovative nature of CCU’s theatre department, as well as its commitment to representing the top of its field in theater technology and design as well as musical theatre.

“I think we are recognized as a top program now because of the number of graduates we have out there working in the field,” said Ken Martin, professor and chair of the Department of Theatre. “The people that we hired in the last several years are of high quality, and others recognize that. CCU is active nationally for recruitment. I am sure all those things combined build a brand, and I believe those things are why the recognition is happening.”
