The Theatre History and Literature Option provides students with an aptitude for scholarship and criticism, a coherent program of study which will prepare them for a career in the literary/critical areas of theatre or for further study at the graduate level. The development of the student scholar/critic within the context of the greater liberal arts framework is emphasized. Students wishing to declare this Option may do so after successfully interviewing with the Theatre faculty.
