Major Requirements


As a means to explore potential aptitude for a theater major, School of Arts and Sciences students should take: 07:965:211 Theater Appreciation and 07:965:271 Basic Acting or 07:965:215 Scenic Art.

Bachelor of arts (B.A.) theater majors should complete courses in 07:965:281-282 Theater History (or the online equivalent 07:965:231-232); 07:965:215 Scenic Art; and 07:966:123 Theater Practice (taken twice) by the end of the junior year, since they are required of all majors and are prerequisites for most advanced theater courses. Theater History is a two-semester course, which must be taken in sequence, beginning in the fall semester for the in-person section. The Theater History course is also offered online each semester. Students are expected to achieve grades of C+ or better in the major and no course with a grade of D or lower will count toward the major.

Depending on the student's interest, Theater arts students are encouraged to take correlative courses in dramatic literature (modern drama, Shakespeare) as well as courses in art, dance, and music history and appreciation.
