The Theatre Major

The Theatre major, consisting of 49 credits, leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree. At graduation, Theatre majors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the major. The calculation is based on all courses taken at Allegheny and applied to the major. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. All courses required for the major must be taken on a letter grade basis. At maximum 12 transfer credits may be counted toward the major; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.

Please note: it is strongly recommended that students complete 100-level THTR courses before their senior year.
