English Theatre - Colgate University

English Theatre from Colgate University is a Campus Bachelor Theatre degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. An English concentration develops students' ability to use language effectively and enhances their critical and analytical skills by making them aware of the social and historical context in which writing, in any of its forms, is produced. English study provides an excellent basis for professional programs in law, journalism, publishing, and business as well as for graduate study in literature, creative writing, or the theater. Concentration in Theatre A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all courses counted toward the theater concentration. The minimum of eight courses must include the following: 1. Two courses in the literature of theater, normally ENGL 266 and 267. With permission of the director of the program, ENGL 211, 321, or 322 may be substituted for 266. 2. Two courses in craft, ENGL 250 and 254. These are ordinarily taken in the first two years of a student's program. 3. A 400-level course, either ENGL 454 or 455, although concentrators are advised to take both. 4.
