Emphasis: Dramatic Arts
Degree: Associate in Arts
Total Units: 91
Purpose: The Associate of Arts degree with an emphasis in Dramatic Arts meets the needs of students interested in acting or technical theater work who intend either to complete a two-year program or to transfer to a four-year institution.
This course work can provide an important supplement to the work of those who plan to major in the humanities and social sciences. Dramatic experience brings insight into the complex motivation for human behavior.
For students who plan to become educators, particularly those interested in elementary and secondary school teaching, courses in drama can provide insight into methods of teaching and learning through “language arts.”
If you intend to transfer to a four-year program at a college or university in Washington State, you should see the drama advisor for information on special requirements, if any, for that school. This information may have a bearing on courses you choose to satisfy distribution requirements.
A maximum of 15 units in DRMA 100 level courses may be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Up to 5 units in Drama may be used as Humanities distribution units.
