Minor in Design and Technical Theatre

20-21 credit hours required. Not available for Theatre majors.
 
  The Design and Technical Theatre Minor consists of a concentration  of courses in the craft, theory, and art of design and technical theatre.   Students from a variety of majors including art, dance, education and   music may use the minor to strengthen their preparation for future   careers. Students may be given design assignments for one-act plays, or  on occasion may design a major faculty-directed production. The minor  also prepares students for graduate work in design or technical theatre.
  
  All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:
