Theatre Major Requirements

Note: Students pursuing a B.A. in Theatre must complete a total of 43 credits.

In addition to requirements for the major course of study General Education Core courses must be completed. For a BA a minimum of 90 liberal arts credits must be included in courses taken over the four years. Courses followed by a double asterisk (**) do not receive Liberal Arts credit.

Theatre majors may take up to 21 credits per semester.  Theatre major students also do studio electives and more performances than the minimum required.

Majors and Minors must receive a grade of C or better in all Dance and Theatre courses that will be used toward the major. A course for the major that receives below a C will need to be repeated and a grade below a C places the student in a provisional status within the program. Students who receive below a C for a DTH course must meet with their faculty advisors.
