College of Fine Arts School of Dance Undergraduate Handbook

International Programs

In accordance with the mission of the University to broaden our international horizons, the School of Drama has created and sponsored many international exchanges.  Most recently, we signed an agreement with the Shanghai Theatre Academy which will commence during the 2006-2007 school year.   In the past we have had a variety of exchanges and international activity with England, Ireland, Italy, France and the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Sydney, Australia.  Both students and faculty are encouraged and supported in international activity, assisted by the Coordinator of International Programs (a faculty member appointed by the Director of the SOD).

Additionally, international students, faculty and guest artists are a welcome component in the School of Drama.  We work closely with the office of Education Abroad and International Student Services, whose mission statement is, in accordance with the University’s commitment to awareness of global issues and international involvement,  “to enhance the scope and quality of the international dimensions of the academic, research and public service missions of The University of Oklahoma.”
