Note:  Substitutions between options can be made with advisor or consent.  Students must earn a grade of “C” or above in courses used to satisfy major or minor requirements in the Communication and Theatre Department.

It is recommended that students with a Theatre Option take at least one elective course in THTR 205/305 Theatre 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.
