Minor In Teacher Education for Theatre Arts (18 Hours)

This minor is intended to provide an option for acquiring courses for those exploring teacher education that could contribute to achieving NC licensure for students enrolled in theatre arts with a theatre education concentration. Specifically, the Teacher Education program’s Professional Education Core courses plus 6 credit hours of electives will be used to fulfill the requirements of a minor. This minor is offered only for students seeking the Theatre Arts - Theatre Education Concentration, BA .

This minor will develop the skills, knowledge and dispositions of students seeking a minor in education to complete the course and early field experience requirements that will assist them in becoming future teachers. This minor alone does not result in an endorsement for professional licensure through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction without the fulfillment of all additional licensure requirements including student teaching.

Note: To be admitted to the Teacher Education, students must have a minimum 2.7 cumulative GPA, completed 45 semester hours, completed criminal background check and successfully completed testing requirements for Reading, Writing and Math areas of the PRAXIS I CORE (or exempt based on SAT or ACT scores).
