Theatre Arts Major (BFA): Design and Technology Option

Electives may be taken from any DNCE, THEA, or DSN course not taken above, or other courses approved by your adviser.

NOTE: THEA 105 may not count in the category.

Required Theatre Practicum

For Theatre Majors: Register for a practicum each of your first six semesters as a major. Practicum areas are scene shop, costume shop, deck run crew, costume run crew, house/public relations, design, directing/choreography/management, and performance. You may repeat an area after you have completed 6 different activities.

For Majors and Minors:

1. Practicum areas are scene shop, costume shop, deck run crew, costume run crew, house/public relations, design, directing/choreography/management, media marketing, and performance.

2. Students assigned to work in one of the technical shops must complete 40 hours of work.

3. All other assignments must attend/work all scheduled meetings, calls, rehearsals, and performances as appropriate.

4. Credit for practicum includes DNCE 426 or THEA 426 as appropriate.

5. Theatre and Dance majors and minors must explore different areas of Practicum each time they enroll.

6. If you do not register for a practicum or do not complete the activity satisfactorily, you are placed on department probation and must make up the missed work in the next semester. If you must make up missed work, you must also register for a practicum for the current semester. If the work is not made up, you will be dropped from the major or minor.

7. Normally a practicum may only count in the current semester. If a production occurs unusually late in a semester, the practicum for that production may count for the following semester.
