Theatre Minor

A minor in Theatre encourages students to explore theatre studies and practice that focuses on creative and intellectual interest and curiosity and meets student need. The minor is intentionally combined with the student’s major to contribute to 1) the development of creative and applied skills that prepare the student for their choice of career and future educational goals; 2) the student’s training in theatrical practice that seeks to mimic professional standards of production; and 3) a formal academic credential for those interested in pursuing Theatre courses as a significant part of their undergraduate education.
