Theatre Minor

The minor in theatre provides a general introduction to the art form. It aims at introducing the student to the art and craft of theatre through the study of dramatic literature and the exploration of performance processes.

Requirements: A minimum of 15 credits in theater including: THTR 203 The Art of the Theater, at least 3 credits of an analytical or literature course (THTR 230, 350, 460 or 461), at least 3 credits from the 300 level, and 1-3 credits from THTR 240/340 - Rehearsal/Performance/Production Practicum.

Students are encouraged to declare the minor as soon as possible so that a course of study can be planned with the theatre advisor to give the student an opportunity to gain theater production credit early in their academic career. The department reserves the right not to accept minors when the program of courses has not been previously worked out with the faculty advisor.
