18 Credit Hours

Explore the theatre arts through courses on acting, the history of theatre, playwriting, playwrights and more. Courses to fulfill a requirement for any major cannot also be used to fulfill a requirement for the minor in theatre, although coursework may meet the Global Citizenship program requirements. All credits for the minor must be completed at Webster.
