Why Consider a Theatre Minor?
The Theatre minor is designed for flexibility and well-roundedness within the curriculum to help students achieve a specifically catered collection of courses to suit their interests. With options that are available for designers, actors, directors, playwrights, and more, it is a wonderful option for those who are planning to pursue other degrees but still want to further their theatrical knowledge and ability.
