THTR 3301, THTR 3302: These courses also satisfy general education requirements and appear in the number of hours for both general education and the major; in reality, musical theatre majors may have up to 19 additional hours to use for electives. Students may use elective hours to earn a minor or another major, as well as to develop additional marketable skills. The number of elective hours students may take will depend on the courses taken to satisfy general education requirements.

Notice: Majors must pass the piano proficiency exam and the Sophomore Barrier. MTHE 4900 and THTR 3314 should be taken concurrently.
