Theatre Minor
The Department of Theatre ‘s minor provides students with challenging and inspiring courses, which can be selected in consultation with their advisor to focus on the specific discipline of theatre they are interested in – acting, musical theatre, theatre for young audiences, community outreach, design, technical theatre, developmental drama, and directing.
This minor works well with many majors on campus (like education, speech pathology, psychology, business management and communication) allowing students to follow their passion and do what they love. They will be able to apply many of the “soft skills” they learn in theatre classes to their chosen careers – making them better prepared for the work force.
