This minor encourages the creation of new work for the stage through interdisciplinary practice. Students are required to take nineteen to twenty-one credits of coursework, only six of which can be counted for their major or other minors.

Before the student’s final semester, the student will submit to the coordinator a two to three page proposal for a final public presentation or dissemination of a cumulative portfolio of work created during the minor coursework. This portfolio can consist of a number of smaller works from various disciplines or a single interdisciplinary work. Dissemination of this portfolio must be completed before the minor is awarded.
