Theatre Arts Minor Overview

The Theatre Arts minor enables you to take a sampling of courses restricted to your own area of interest along with some theatre lab hours and an introductory course. In this way, you may focus on acting, design or theatre technology. Many students who enjoyed their high school theatre experience elect to take work toward a minor in theatre to complement their major courses of study. You will learn strategies for seeking and maintaining employment in a competitive industry.

An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.

The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.

A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
