Overview

The Minor in Theater, offered by the Department of Theater, is available to undergraduate students in other departments and colleges. The minor is intended to give some broad introduction in theater followed by a small amount of specialization. A notation on the transcript will indicate successful completion of the minor.

Students electing the Theater minor may apply up to six transfer credits toward the twenty credits required for the minor. THTR 1087 is not available as an equivalency for any articulated credit in transfer. Students must receive the permission of their advisor before starting in this program. Once the minor has been approved, students must follow the academic rules of the Department of Theater for all Theater courses. Minor credit is not given for Theater grades below C. Students must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA in the minor. Students with theater averages under 2.0 GPA for more than two semesters will be dropped from the program. Students with averages under 2.0 GPA may not begin the program. Students minoring in Theater should collaborate with a Theater department advisor in the selection of coursework.
