The Theatre Division was established in 1981. It was one of four units in The Department of Fine Arts at Yarmouk University, and the first to introduce the practical and theoretical study of drama and theatre in Jordan.
In 1994, The Theatre Division expanded and developed its undergraduate curriculum in concert with the ideals and objectives of Yarmouk University.  It offered four separate majors leading to a Bachelor degree in Acting and Directing, Literature and Cretinism, Cinema and Television, and Sceneography.
In 2001, The Department of Fine Arts was expanded and became The College of Fine Arts. At the same time The Theatre Division became The Drama Department with two separate divisions. The Theatre Division and The Cinema and Television Division.
The Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree for Undergraduate majors.  Drama courses are designed to give students opportunities for research and practice. At any given time, there are approximately 50 students in the department pursuing Bachelor degree in drama.
