DRAMA/THEATRE (21 credits)
Administered by: Department of Humanities. Cullimore
Hall, Room 415.
The minor in drama/theatre combines the study of the
dramatic arts as literature with training in the nature and practice of live
theatre. Through this balance of academic investigation and hands-on experience,
students gain an unusually broad perspective on this exciting field of the
performing arts.
To achieve this balance, students electing a minor in
drama/theatre take at least two courses in dramatic literature and at least two
courses in theatre arts. Students electing this minor participate in actual
productions staged in the joint theatre season of NJIT and Rutgers-Newark. Their
roles in these productions, whether behind or in front of the curtain, teach
valuable lessons in communication, responsibility, teamwork, self-confidence,
and self-esteem.
