NOTES:
1) The Theatre Arts Major Elective Requirement must be a THTR course (3rd acting course, THTR 306 Playwriting, THTR Seminar
course, Independent Study, etc.) or a course approved by the THTR faculty chair (courses vary and include some semester abroad
classes).
Recommended optional electives outside the major include: Art and/or Art History classes; courses about theater taught through English,
Classics, or Foreign Languages; film/TV history and theory classes taught in Communication Studies; and voice classes taught through
Music.
2) Of the three units of upper division coursework required outside the first major, the Connections course will count for one unless it is
used to meet a major requirement.
3) Theatre Arts strongly encourages students to take 4 Activity courses, in particular THTR 291 Production Credit in at least 2 semesters.
Other Activity courses useful for Theatre majors/minors include Tai Chi, Yoga, and dance classes taught through Physical Education.
