Acting: Communication through Performance Certificate


This program will provide students with majors outside of the theatre department to focus on the succession of acting classes in order to improve their communication skills. Acting provides physical and creative outlets which differ from the intense intellectual demands of many majors. The Certificate provides the opportunity to take more specialized acting classes than the Theatre Minor offers, and would provide formal recognition for the course work. It’s ideal for students who want specialized study in performance but don’t have the time to take a second major.
