This is the most flexible of the Theatre Studies options. All students must complete the Common Core of Theatre Studies courses plus an additional 24 hours of theatre electives (chosen in consultation with an advisor) which may include theatre studies production practice. Each student then fills out his/her program according to his/her professional or educational goals. A traditional minor is possible. The following is a sample program for a Theatre Arts major.
