| The Department of Theatre offers programs that stress the
inter-dependency of academic and production experiences, the importance of a broad
theatre background, and the mastery of theatre fundamentals in preparation for the
more advanced theatre training offered in graduate schools or professional theatre
internship/apprentice programs.
The University requires that all students complete general education courses in addition to any major or minor area of study. The link to these requirements is: http://catalog.wmich.edu/content.php?catoid=7&navoid=186 In addition, the College of Fine Arts has a computer literacy requirement, THEA 1140, which incorporates programs specifically focused on the arts. Opportunities for participation in the production program begin with the freshman year. The department presents nine faculty-directed productions each season. Additional plays are presented in the laboratory theatre program and in the directing classes. All regularly enrolled WMU students, regardless of major and in good academic
standing, are eligible to participate in the production process. |
