Course offerings include introductory classes in theatre and film, which satisfy general education and transfer requirements, as well as courses in acting and stagecraft. Students can start with no previous training or experience and progress to advanced classes to prepare them for transfer and an opportunity to earn an AA transfer degree in Theatre. Courses are integrated around the central ideas of collaboration, individual responsibility, student-centered learning, open and respectful dialogue, and practical application of theory and skills. Work in acting technique, design, costuming, makeup, lighting, technical production, and other crafts are taught in theory and practice resulting in public performances of a variety of plays and musicals.\n\nStudents who complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) will receive guaranteed admission with junior status to the California State University System and priority admission consideration to a major that is deemed similar to their community college transfer degree major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the transfer degree will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor's degree in the same major. Students should consult a counselor for more information on specific university admission and transfer requirements.\n\nThe following are required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:\n\n- Completion of 60 CSU transferable semester units\n- Obtainment of a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework\n- Completion, with a grade of “C” or better OR “P” (Pass), of each course used to satisfy major requirements AND the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements.\n\nStudents who complete this program should be able to:\n\n1. Demonstrate the ability to work as an ensemble member of a theatre company by meeting expectations, following safe production practices, and respecting the opinions, feelings, and values of others.\n2. Identify similarities and differences among cultures, times, and environments expressed through dramatic texts, films, and live performances.\n3. Analyze and evaluate dramatic texts and performances in terms of their technical skills, artistic objectives, and their historical and cultural significance.\n4. Effectively use language, communicate their ideas, and creatively express themselves through the application of theatrical skills.\n5. Select appropriate acting techniques and apply technical skills, imagination, and script analysis toward the creation of a live or recorded performance.\n6. Identify theatrical challenges, production needs, and potential problems; research, formulate, and construct creative solutions; and execute an achievable plan using appropriate tools, theories, and techniques."
