BA or BSc (120 credit hour) Double Major in Theatre

Dalhousie and University of King’s College students can combine their Theatre degrees with a number of other disciplines at the two institutions. For more specific instructions on how to set up a Double Major degree in Theatre and another subject, please consult the relevant departments’ Undergraduate Advisors.

In principle, a student who wishes to graduate with this degree must complete the following required courses, plus other electives:

  • THEA 2011.03 (Ancient and Medieval Theatre)
  • THEA 2012.03 (Early Modern Theatre)
  • THEA 3503.03 (Modern Theatre)
  • any ONE of the following electives: THEA 3911.03 (Gender and Theatre), THEA 3912.03 (Gender Theory and Contemporary Performance), THEA 3915.03 (Stars and Stardom on Stage and Screen), THEA 4501.03 (Canadian Theatre Since 1968), THEA 4701.03 (Special Topics 1), THEA 4921.03 (Special Topics 2), THEA 4702.03 (Special Topics 3), THEA 4735.03 (Advanced Seminar in Baroque Culture), THEA 4922.03 (Topics in Theatre History), THEA 4923.03 (Topics in Dramatic Literature), THEA 4924.03 (Special Topics in Theatre and Cinema), THEA 4925.03 (Puppets: Bringing Objects to Life), THEA 4926.03 (Creative Responses to A Midsummer Night's Dream), THEA 4931.03 (Contemporary Theatre)

In addition, students must have, in the two subjects combined, the required distribution of courses for a BA (120 credit hour) Double Major degree. As a result, the degree will consist of a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 48 credit hours in Theatre beyond the 1000-level. These credits must include at least 18 credit hours beyond the 2000-level in THEA. See the Degree Requirements section of this calendar for other general university requirements.

Note: For historical reasons, many classes with FILM codes are crosslisted as THEA. However, no such class will count toward any Theatre degree, with the exception of FILM 3915.03/THEA 3915.03 (Stars and Stardom on Stage and Screen), FILM/THEA 3314.03 (Shakespeare and his Contemporaries on Film), and FILM 4393.03/THEA 4924.03 (Special Topics in Theatre and Cinema).
