A minimum of 120 semester credits is required to complete the B.A. general theatre degree. An outside elective is any course taken outside of the major. Unless an approved minor is included, 18 credits of electives must be chosen from 3000/4000-level courses outside of the School of Theatre and Dance. Transfer students with A.A. degrees must complete additional courses in the basic distribution, which includes general education requirements. Students must earn minimum grades of C in each of these courses and they may not be taken S-U.
