U-THEA-MIN - Theater Studies - Minor

The Department of Theater Studies offers students a variety of opportunities to study and practice theater, combining respect for history with immersion in contemporary issues, and intellectual engagement with creative expression. The faculty views theater as a form of human expression, shaped by social, economic, technological, personal, and artistic forces.

Courses are designed to offer minors and nonmajors the opportunity to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the theater. Guiding the work of the faculty is the belief that the theater is a collaborative art form that reaches out to other disciplines.

Courses in acting, directing, design, technical theater, dramatic literature, theater history, and performance studies are complemented by productions of plays, past and present. This combination of academic coursework and production experience is a hallmark of the department’s approach.
