Theatre Minor

The Minor in Theatre enables students to gain a general knowledge of performance and production. Courses provide a grounding in various types and periods of drama, performance skills (acting, scene study), and technical skills (basic drawing, directing, color, and 2D design). The Minor in Theatre is an 18 credit minor. Students proceed through the 15 required and 3 elective credits to complete the minor.

The training available within a theatre curriculum enriches careers in Early Childhood/Elementary Education, Elementary/Middle Level Education, Communication, and English. Students interested in Business, Marketing, or Management may consider the Theatre Minor as an entree to the field of Arts Management
