The collaborative and organizational skills developed while pursuing a theatre degree are vast, and while some of the career paths pursued by our graduates include the jobs listed above, many WOU theatre graduates have utilized the skills they developed in our program to pursue post-graduate degrees and career paths outside of the entertainment industry. Recent graduates have remained active in theatre within their communities but become business owners, lawyers, professional consultants, film producers, events coordinators, professional gourmet chefs, building contractors, electrical contractors, lighting specialists, interior designers and community organizers\u2014to name of few.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
