We are updating the names of a course required for the degree to reflect a current course proposal. We
are removing the requirement of a second semester of Stagecraft (THTR 203) as the content that was
once unique to that course is now being addressed in a revised version of Stagecraft I (THTR 202) for
which there is a current course proposal. We are requiring an additional three credits of the student’s
choosing in his/her particular area of study.
V Copies and Electronic Submission
Once approved, the original, a paper copy and an electronic file are submitted to the Faculty Senate
Office, UH 221 (camie.foos@mso.umt.edu).
