A student who wishes to combine the study of theater with a related field may apply to the Department for a modified major. Such a program shall contain five courses from the theater major beyond the prerequisites (Theater 1, 15, 16 and 40) and four courses that count toward the major(s) in the related department(s) or program(s). Students taking a modified major must fulfill a production requirement of participation in three productions, at least one of which must be in an area other than acting.
The Culminating Experience in Theater must also be completed. In recent years modified majors in Theater have been formed with Art History, Classics, English, Film Studies, French, Music, and Spanish. The program must receive the prior approval of the Chair of the Theater Department.
