Theater Minor (20 credits)

 

Skills and insights acquired through the study of theater can be life enhancing. The ability to communicate effectively and to better understand human motivation and mystery is as important in one's business and life as it is on-stage. Students acquire a basic understanding of, and critical appreciation for, contemporary theater art. Opportunities to provide for integration with other major programs of study include an emphasis on the process of creating original work.
