THE MINOR IN THEATER ARTS
Similar to the Major, The Minor in Theater Arts is designed to give students the opportunity to engage in advanced study of Theater Arts and to experiment broadly in the making of theater. The flexibility of the minor allows students either to explore several theatrical disciplines such as playwriting, acting, directing, or design or to concentrate more deeply in one.
Please click here for a Theater Arts Minor Application form. Theater Arts uses a different form that the HASS application.
