Theatre Arts B.A. - PTEP

Secondary Teaching Emphasis

Admission to the Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts, Teaching Emphasis degree program is by interview only.

In addition to fulfilling program procedures and course requirements, a theatre education emphasis student must have and maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in Theatre Arts and a 2.80 GPA for overall University coursework. Failure to do so will result in the student's discontinuance from the Theatre Arts/Education emphasis.

All Theatre Education emphasis majors must demonstrate professional promise as a teacher to the satisfaction of the Theatre Arts Faculty.

The Theatre Arts program requires student majors to consult with and be advised by a faculty member teaching in the program.

A teaching minor is highly recommended. Students must remember that in the public schools of the State of Colorado more than half the teaching load must be done in the area of licensure. A student desiring this licensure should be prepared for many additional requirements in content and in methods and observation in the minor field.

This program meets the current licensure requirements for teaching drama in the secondary schools of Colorado.

This program meets the current minimum requirements of the North Central Association for teachers of drama.

Attendance at or involvement with all productions of the Little Theatre of the Rockies is required during residency.

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education and this program require the completion of a yearly assessment process in this emphasis area. The assessment, which includes an evaluation of your year's progress as well as a yearly audition or interview, may be the basis of your continuance in this emphasis area.

Any student receiving a grade of "D" or lower in a course in the emphasis must retake the course until a grade of "C" or higher is achieved.

THEA 385 is a PTEP requirement taken concurrently with STEP 363. Any student receiving a grade of "D" or lower in a course in the emphasis must retake the course until a grade of "C" or higher is achieved.

Students who are in theatre education must apply for admission to the Professional Teacher Education program (PTEP).

It is recommended that application for PTEP be made during the sophomore year, or after completing 30 semester hours of University coursework and no later than the first semester of the junior year. Students must complete the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences PTEP requirements (see Theatre Education advisor).
