Undergraduate Minor

SPU Theatre offers a minor that is an excellent enrichment to other fields of study. The Theatre minor is ideal for students who have enjoyed theatre in the past and want to continue to study it as they pursue other degrees, as well as for students who are new to theatre and are looking for a rich, artistic addition to their educational experience.

We offer a Theatre Minor that includes core requirements and a wide variety of electives from the various areas of emphasis.

Minor

The Theatre minor provides you with the foundations of theatre — including performance, production, and playwriting — and an understanding of the history of theatre. You will participate in theatre productions and, through a series of knowledge- and skill-building classes and experiences, grow in your theatrical abilities and confidence.

Entering the Minor

You may enter the minor during your first quarter at SPU. Entrance after your first quarter requires only good academic standing (2.0 or higher SPU cumulative GPA). Consult the Undergraduate Catalog for complete information on how and when to enter and what you must do to complete the program.
