About the Minor
The Theatre Studies Minor provides a broad understanding of the field of theatre from the perspective of the actor and designer. Our minor provides experiences that enhance students' abilities to tell a story through performance and visual design, explore their creativity as directors, expand their knowledge of areas such as box office management and the many technical aspects of a fully realized theatre production, and more. Our minor also expands students' understanding of how theatre studies can intersect with other fields within the theatre arts and allows them to develop additional skills that complement the marketable competencies and knowledge they acquire in their majors.
Students who earn a Theatre Studies Minor often pursue careers in law, arts administration, fundraising, teaching, management, marketing, and other similar professions.
