I understand that Texas History and EDUC

Some independent studies/seminars, which have been offered toward the
Theater
Minor,
have included the following: Shakespearean Production, Shakespearean Directing,
Playwriting, Advanced Acting in Style,
American Musical Theater,
Costume Design & Construction, Children's Theater, Creative Dramatics, Drama
Ministry, Drama as an
Educational and Therapeutic Tool, Theater History,
Lighting Design,
Acting for the Camera, and Screenwriting. At least
one major theater
production and many smaller performances are produced each year at UMHB.
(UMHB students also have many opportunities to audition on campus and off for
many types of plays and musical theater productions with campus
organizations, other academic departments, and off campus organizations). The UMHB
Theater Program
collaborates with other colleges
and community theater organizations to produce plays, musicals, and outdoor
Shakespearean productions. Further, it participates in other
regional performance projects with educational programs and civic
organizations. Class credit is available for these projects
with course instructors' approvals. Students can transfer in some theater courses.
All
transferred courses are transferred in as lower level courses. Thirty-six
upper division courses are required.
