Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
Effective Fall 2006
1. Delete: On pg.
93-94, the entry
under Declaration of Major in Drama
Add: On
pg. 94, in place of deleted entry:
Students who wish to declare a major in Drama should
consult the Drama Department Student Handbook for detailed information on
fulfilling major, oral and computer competencies.
Prior to
declaring, all students must complete LANG 120. Specific declaration
requirements for each concentration are as follows:
Drama: Complete DRAM 103, and either 111 or 121 or
122 with a GPA of 2.0 or better.
Acting and Directing: Complete DRAM 103, 104, 111
and 212 with a GPA of 2.0 or better.
Design
and Production: Complete DRAM 121 and 122 with a GPA of 2.0 or better.
Theatre
Arts with Teacher Licensure: Complete DRAM 103, and either 111 or 121 or 122
with a GPA of 2.0 or better.
After
completing the pre-declaration requirements, students should meet with the
department chair to complete a formal Declaration of Major form.
Impact:
This
will not require additional faculty or resources and does not impact the number
of hours for the students.
Rationale:
Students
interested in a Drama major should be aware of the competency requirements
prior to declaring. Referring students to the handbook allows them to be more
informed at an earlier point.
Requiring Design and Production majors to complete
both DRAM 121 and 122 before declaring will allow them to more fully explore
the content and focus of that concentration before making a decision. Changing
DRAM 112 to 212 in the Acting and Directing concentration is an editorial
correction.
