Theater Minor

After officially declaring the theater minor, students are invited to meet with the departmental faculty. This meeting, which typically takes place during the junior year, is intended to help students integrate their interests and goals in theater with their major and the wider College curriculum. Students will discuss their engagement in the department and their creative/scholarly intentions for the completion of the minor.
