Justification for proposal: In order to strengthen the unique nature of each theatre emphasis we are specifying the in depth nature of the performance and design/technology emphases and the hybrid, broader Effective Fall 2013 based view of the theatre studies emphasis. 1: Students may only complete one emphasis. 2: All theatre studies emphasis students must take an equal distribution of classes from the performance and design/tech emphases. 3. We are dividing the one topics course (TH440) into three (TH440, TH450, TH460) with each course being specific to the emphasis. Students choosing the performance and design/tech emphases typically have very specific career goals in that area (e.g., actor, lighting designer, costume draper). Theatre Studies is the choice for students who want a broader theatre education, or who need a blend of the two emphases to support their career goals in areas such as teaching, stage management, directing, or those wishing to go on in history/theory and criticism. These changes will strengthen the theatre curriculum and are in alignment with and support the approved program and emphases learning outcomes. Due to significant demand, TH423, Computer Aided Drafting for Scenery and Lighting, has been reactivated and we are adding it back in as a design and technology emphasis option. 9.

Will this proposal impact other plans, sub plans, or course offerings, etc.? Yes No If yes, describe the impact. If applicable, include evidence of notification to and/or response from each impacted academic unit Answer 12-13 for UCC/ECCC only: 12. A major is differentiated from another major by required course commonality: 24 units of the required credit hours of a major must be unique, (i.e. not common or not dual use as a required element in another major), to that major. Does this plan have 24 units of unique required credit? Yes No Theatre; B.S. 13. Minor: A planned group of courses from one or more subject matter areas consisting of at least 18 hours and no more than 24 hours. At least 12 hours of the minor must be unique to that minor to differentiate it from other minors. Does this minor have 12 units of unique required credit? Yes No Answer 14-15 for UGC only: 14. If this is a non-thesis plan, does it require a minimum of 24 units of formal graded coursework? Yes No If no, explain why this proposal should be approved. Effective Fall 2013 15.
