Undergraduate Major in Theatre Degree
The B.A. in Theatre has two specialties or specializations available:
- Performance
- Technical Theatre
Degree Requirements
In selecting one of them and an associated specialty, students who are first-time
degree seekers are not required to declare a minor in a second academic discipline.
Instead, they are required to complete 18 semester credit hours in the area of specialization.
Requirements for the B.A. in Theatre , as well as the two minors offered through
this unit, are summarized below with exact requirements, including specialty, or minor
selected.
In considering requirements for the B.A. in Theatre, whether with a minor or certification,
students must first be admitted by the University. They must also satisfy all testing
requirements, must eradicate deficiencies assessed through the Student Academic Enhance
Center (SAEC), must petition the Department for admission as testing requirements
are completed and must complete preliminary requirements established by the department
for majors, which could include a portfolio review. An exit examination is required
of all graduating seniors.
The success of any Theatre major is not solely dependent on the classroom experience.
More hours than class meeting times are necessary to complete assignments and to truly
develop one’s ability. Theatre majors are expected to practice their skills, research
theatre related topics outside of class.
