Theatre Minor

Declaring a minor can be helpful if you are wanting a different area of study, but not declaring another major. You can minor in something that compliments your major, or something you find interesting!  

Wondering if you can minor in theatre? You absolutely can, and have a choice of three focuses! A minor in theatre offers 3 different options. A minor of technical theatre focuses on stagecraft, theatrical design, and live production techniques. The minor in acting focuses on acting and the Fine Art Business Entrepreneurship focuses on front-of-house operations such as box office, marketing, contracts, legal aspects, booking, agents, and business practices.
