Transfer Pathway

The Theatre Arts concentration follows the BA/BS Communication Studies transfer pathway: WSC evaluates accredited-institution credit for advanced standing, and an AA/AS with at least 60 transferable hours generally brings junior standing. The department still determines how transferred courses apply to this concentration and its Theatre Arts requirements.
