A concentration in theatre introduces students to all aspects of theatre art and permits students to specialize in those areas of theatre study which are of primary concern to them. Students are prepared for further study on the graduate or conservatory level. Courses of value to the general student population, such as those in dramatic literature, introduction to the theatre, and public address, are also offered through the Theatre and Dance Department. Students seeking a major in Theatre must have a grade of C or above in all theatre courses. Every theatre major must participate (actor, crew, etc) two mainstage productions a year. Scholarship students need to participate in all mainstage productions.
Both full scale and studio theatrical productions are staged each year. All students of the University of Michigan-Flint are cordially invited to participate in these productions.
The Theatre and Dance Department offers a variety of scholarship opportunities designed to attract and retain students of exceptional talent and promise. They include the Ralph M. and Emmalyn E. Freeman Theatre Scholarship, Jeffrey F. Garfield Scholarship, Brian McDonald Theatre Scholarship, the Carland Sarah Morgan Theatre Scholarship and the Theatre and Dance Scholarship Program. Friends of the Theatre, the Chancellor, and our production program support these scholarship opportunities.
Department Mission and Program Assessment
The Theatre Department is committed to responsible and professional preparation of its students for professional/commercial work in the field, teaching careers in theatre or related areas, further study in graduate or conservatory settings, life-long appreciation of theatre and dance as cultural expression, and leadership roles in the artistic life of their communities. In addition, the department commits itself to liberalizing the perspective of the general college student it encounters through the teaching of its courses, and to enrich the lives of persons in the community by producing challenging, thought-provoking, entertaining experiences which reflect its diversity and which explore vital concerns and issues. The Department participates in the University-wide effort to assess its academic programs. Information on assessment plans, including goals, methods and outcomes is available at http://assessment.umflint.edu.
