The program's curriculum is designed primarily for those looking for a liberal arts education, one which could also lead to further academic study of theatre and drama. Concentrators may, however, take these foundation courses after they have formally declared a Theatre concentration. The program requires a minimum of 40 to 43 credits including the cognate requirements indicated below. Each individual's program should be planned in consultation with the B.A. concentration advisor at the Department of Theatre and Drama. Inquire at the Department Office for a more detailed description of the concentration program.
