RECOMMENDED Coursework Outside of the Discipline. In addition to the major-specific requirements mentioned previously, Theatre students would benefit greatly from completing foundation-level coursework in the following areas: • History – 3-4 credits • Literature – 6-8 credits • Arts and Humanities (in an area other than Theatre) – 3-4 credits • Exercise Science and Wellness, Dance or Movement – 3-4 credits Institutions are advised to incorporate recommended coursework into the articulated associate degree either as part of the institution’s general education curriculum (or distribution requirements), as a requirement of the major or to fulfill required free electives. Recommended coursework outside of the discipline may be fulfilled by completing approved courses from the Transfer Credit Framework. The Framework consists of six categories which include courses in English, public speaking, math, science, art, humanities, history and the behavioral and social sciences. Each category consists of multiple course options. The Framework allows students to transfer up to 30 credits of foundation courses from one participating college or university to another and have those courses count toward graduation. Some Framework courses are more relevant to the field of Theatre than others. Students should work with an academic advisor to select the best options for their major of interest. See Appendix B. Students who do not complete recommended coursework prior to transferring will not be penalized by the receiving bachelor-degree institution.
