College of Liberal Arts Drama & Theatre

Concentration in Drama & Theatre

The concentration in Drama and Theatre draws on faculty from English and the Communication and Theatre Arts departments. Students can substitute this concentration for a major.

The 12-course concentration offers students the opportunity to gain a rigorous interdisciplinary perspective in these two related fields. Students will design and execute a Senior Project in Drama/Theatre under the supervision of a member of the program's faculty.

Drama/Theatre Concentration Honors

Students may earn honors by maintaining a minimum overall 3.50 GPA in their undergraduate program; achieving a minimum overall 3.50 GPA in courses in the concentration; and successfully completing the Senior Project at a level judged worthy of honors by the faculty.
