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 Term are 4.5 half courses and for Winter Term 5.5 half courses. This will still maintain full-time status; however, students are advised to contact a program advisor in the Program Information Centre (PIC) for information concerning their registration.
- Drama 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 4.57.8).
- 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.
