Bachelor of arts (B.A.) advisers in theater arts must be consulted for approval of elective selections.
Theater arts minors who are declaring in the senior year must preregister for classes to ensure availability; space is limited.
Theater History is a two-semester course, which must be taken in sequence, beginning in the fall semester. The course is also offered online. 07:965:215 Scenic Art is required and is offered in the fall semester. It is a prerequisite for all other theater electives.
Students are expected to achieve grades of C+ or better in the minor. A course with a grade of D will not count toward the minor.
