Training

Two 3-credit intermediate modern-language electives in ASL, French, German, or Spanish distinguish the AA; students without two prior years in one language complete beginning study before the intermediate sequence

Acting I or Stage Craft I and Introduction to Theatre anchor the first term, followed by 7 credits of theatre electives chosen outside theatre history

Degree Flexibility

The 60-61 credit Tennessee Board of Regents AA pathway is designed for junior transfer into theatre at Tennessee public universities

Pathway credits apply to the same-discipline bachelor's degree; University of Tennessee, Knoxville admission remains competitive
