Continue developing your love of theatre by adding a Minor in Theatre to your degree. A minor in Theatre can help students improve their confidence in public speaking, develop many practical transferable skills, gain organizational and project management experience, compliment their other design or art programs, prepare for teaching careers and much more.

The Theatre minor is comprised of 15 units of courses. To qualify, a student must achieve a minimum of 6 lower-level units of Theatre and 9 upper-level units. The widest array of courses is available by virtue of the fact there are no required courses within the Minor. In addition, many courses offered require no prerequisites.
