It is recommended that students with a Theatre Option take at least one elective course in COMT 293/493 Workshop in Theatre Production.

Since a Communication and Theatre major has 48 credits and is therefore by definition an extended major, students with a Communication and Theatre major are not required to complete a minor.

Certain courses in this program have prerequisites; students should check the course descriptions for required prerequisites.
