Notes:
- Drama 225 is a three-credit, half course normally offered in the Fall Term. Drama 223 is also a three-credit, half course but it runs over the entire year and students must register in both A and B parts. Consequently, first year course loads for the Fall are 4.5 half courses and for Winter 5.5 half courses. This will still maintain full-time status, however, students are advised to contact a Program Advisor at the Student Success Centre for information concerning their registration.
- The Department offers the opportunity for selected students to complete a professional theatre internship with local professional theatre organizations while registered in Drama 591 and 593 (see 4.20.4).
- Students intending to pursue graduate studies in Drama are reminded that most Canadian universities require a reading knowledge of at least one modern language other than English; in this respect, students are advised to exercise their options to their best advantage.
