About this program
Associate Degree for Transfer in Theatre Arts
Theatre is a collective endeavor requiring individual achievement. A single production brings together the skills of playwriters, performers, designers, and experts in scene construction and lighting. Theatre may be the most comprehensive of all the arts, and the most challenging and exciting. While a college degree will not guarantee you a career in theatre, it is the best way to prepare yourself for this highly competitive job market. A college degree with at least one theatre-related internship, experience working in the field along with your enthusiasm, positive attitude, and perseverance will set you apart from others. While many theatre majors proceed to careers in the theatre and associated fields, their study may also lead them to success in such fields as teaching, arts management, public relations, and drama therapy, to name a few. Completion of the Theatre Arts: Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will prepare you to meet minimum lower division admission requirements (60 transferable units) for transfer to a California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC) system. For transfer to a UC, please consult with a counselor for additional courses t hat may be needed.
