Admission to the B.F.A. emphases in acting and in design and technology is limited. See “Limited Admissions and Limited Retention Requirements” in this catalog.
The School of Theatre and Dance offers undergraduate programs leading to the B.A. and B.F.A. degrees. Students interested in a comprehensive understanding of the components of theatre may select the B.A. in theatre studies and those interested in a specific area of theatre should consider the B.F.A. in theatre arts. The school is a member of the University/Resident Theatre Association, and its programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre.
Requirements
Majors enrolled in theatre and dance classes are required to participate in at least one production every semester. This must be accomplished by successfully completing one of the following: THEA 235A, THEA 255A, THEA 366, THEA 377, THEA 395, or TH-D 377.
Majors and Minors are required to attend all productions offered by the School of Theatre and Dance during any semester for which they are enrolled in a theatre and dance class.
A grade of C or better must be achieved in THEA 201 in order to satisfy the prerequisite for all theatre arts courses numbered 300 or higher.
Double Majors
Students are not permitted to pursue degrees concurrently in more than one degree program within the School of Theatre and Dance. With the exception of majors in dance performance, B.F.A. students are strongly discouraged from seeking a double major within a degree program outside theatre arts.
