The Theatre Studies Minor provides students with a robust introduction to theatre through the study of dramatic texts, history, and stagecraft. The courses offered in the minor fulfill many general education requirements, including the Common Core, Writing Intensive and Interdisciplinary requirements. The program provides students an opportunity for intellectual and creative exploration of humanities subjects that round out their undergraduate experience, while reinforcing skills in communication, collaboration, and creativity, competencies that are sought by employers in nearly every profession. Working in the theatre fosters collegiality and a willingness to work collaboratively, qualities that are fundamental to the successful completion of higher education degrees and functioning in the professional world.
