Admission:
In order to be admitted to the B.A. Degree, the student must

Degree Requirements:
The department of drama and theatre offers the bachelor of
arts (B.A. Degree) in drama. The B.A. degree is designed to offer a liberal
arts education with an emphasis in drama. After satisfying a basic core of drama
courses, the student may concentrate in acting, media, film studies, writing,
or design.
All undergraduate drama majors at the University of Georgia must complete the following core of drama
courses: DRAM 2040, 2050, 3200, 3210, 3290, 3300, 3500, 5053, and seven
three-hour courses in drama numbered 3000 or above. DRAM 2040, 2050,
