The Department of Theatre offers a major
and minor. Majors may choose from three concentrations
-- sometimes called "tracks" or
"areas of emphasis." All three
concentrations share a common 30-hour core
drawn from our extensive course offerings.
The department also offers an honors program
for qualified students.
Theatre/speech
is an approved
area of concentration
for the N12 certificate in the School of Education. |
