Transfer Pathway

CMU publishes a Colorado community-college advising guide for BA Theatre Arts-General Theatre that maps recommended coursework toward lower-division general education, major, or elective credit once admitted. Students still must meet CMU admission requirements and consult advisors early because credits beyond the guide are not guaranteed.
