Minor in Playwriting

About the Minor

The minor in Playwriting is intended to guide students from the acquisition of foundational playwriting skills through the completion of a full-length stage play. Nine of the credits are directly craft-oriented, teaching students what they need to know to translate their ideas into a format suitable for production on the stage; the other six credits offer background knowledge in theater and dramaturgy intended to inform creative thinking and develop a student's individual voice.

Students pursuing a Theater minor should note that common courses in the Playwriting minor make this course of study a relatively simple addition to their education.

Admission Requirements

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
