Theatre Minor
The School of Theatre and Dance offers several minors for you to explore that will complement any major on campus and provide you with an enriching connection to the performing arts community here on campus. Minors regularly perform on our stages, work in our shops, and serve as stage managers, interns, and teaching assistants.
Musical Theatre Performance
This minor allows interested students to focus on the discipline of performance, solely focusing on acting, dance, and music courses. It comprises practical and skill-based knowledge that can be acquired by students for whom the required number of credits for a performance-focused major is not possible to achieve in combination with their other academic curricula.
Theatre
The minor in theatre allows students in other majors to concentrate their theatre studies in particular discipline such as acting, history, design, or technology. The minor includes a common core of foundational experiences, many of which fulfill general education requirements, that lead to electives in an area of specialization. You will work with an advisor to chart your path through the minor and acquire the skills you desire to supplement your major area of study.
Theatre Education
The Minor in theatre education allows students to pursue their love of theatre while working toward an endorsement to teach in primary and secondary schools. Students in this minor are typically enrolled full-time in another primary licensure program (see the College of Education's Department of Teaching and Learning).
