The Theatre Department offers a teaching minor leading to a DPI  #325 license.This program is open either as an “add-on” license for students pursuing, and accepted into, an education or teaching major in an appropriately related field (e.g., English, Social Studies, MCEA) or teachers who already have a State of Wisconsin teaching license in one of the subjects listed above.

Additionally, students evaluated as lacking in theatre content information, skills, or knowledge will be required to take more than the minimum 21 credits listed here; each individual student's appropriateness, requirements, and their course(s) of study will be determined by the Theatre Education Program Director.Minimum Required Courses for Theatre Education Minor.
