The B.A. program also provides an opportunity to major in more than one discipline. Second majors such as English, history, and creative writing are not uncommmon, while others, including journalism, music, criminal justice administration, prelaw, and sociology, have been successful choices.
One of the goals of the B.A. in theater is the preparation of the most gifted students for successful admission to graduate schools or other advanced training in theater or related areas. However, even if you do not wish to extend your training beyond the baccalaureate level, the B.A. in theater addresses both the quality and the diversity of your training.
In addition to general education and arts and sciences area requirements, the theater major includes:

Theater as a Profession 2
THAR 110 Intro to Performance 2

*THAR 113 is preferred. No credit for 113 if you have credit for 110.
The balance of the degree program will consist of 30 credit hours at the 200 level or above in the School of Theater. No more than 24 credit hours may count toward the degree in one (narrow) area of interest, e.g., acting, lighting, publicity, playwriting, etc. No more than 8 hours of practicum (beyond the core requirement) may count toward the degree.
You must submit a plan for the distribution of the 30 credits for consultation and approval by your advisor as a condition of your final acceptance into the major program. While sufficient flexibility for change of direction and focus must be provided throughout your residence, there must be and agreed-upon understanding of the purpose of the program of study and the plan for accomplishing that purpose.
