Theatre Minor

Overview
You can add a theatre minor to any major at ASU. All student may audition for productions, and enroll in a variety of theatre courses.   Acting and technical theatre courses count toward a minor in theatre. You may also choose courses from design, history and literature, performance, and theatre for youth.

Contact for this degree:
The faculty in this area is Joel Williams. He teaches several of the classes and advises students pursuing this degree. See the directory for his bio.

Core Requirements:
After admission to the university, your first few semesters are spent completing what is called a "core curriculum." This degree requires the same core classes every ASU student takes during their first years of college. After your core is underway, you can declare your major. After you declare your major, you begin to take more classes in your degree area. We recommend that you come to the Department as soon as you can to get involved. You do not have to be a declared major to participate in our productions.

Other Requirements:
You will meet with an advisor at least once a semester. This is an informal time to plan your classes and talk about your experience at ASU. Additional advisor visits are optional. During your junior year there is an interview to make sure you are on a successful path. This is to explore career options and short and long-term goals.
