General Information Go to top of document
Administrative Assistant Dorothy Krynicki 905-688-5550, extension 5255 Thistle west 135 http://www.brocku.ca/dramaticarts The Department of Dramatic Arts (DART), part of the School of Fine and Performing Arts (SFPA), addresses the study, application and interrogation of the discipline as cultural and educational practice. The Department of Dramatic Arts offers four-year programs of study with streams in Drama in Education and Society, Dramatic Literature, and Theatre leading to a BA Honours in Dramatic Arts. For honours students, Concentrations are available in Drama in Education and Society, and in Performance, in Stagecraft and Design. The Department also offers a four-year (20 credit) BA Major Theatre degree; a three-year BA Pass degree. A Certificate program in Drama in Education and Society as well as Minor in Dramatic Arts are also offered for non-DART majors. All three streams of Drama in Education and Society, Dramatic Literature and Theatre are united under one goal: to integrate theory and practice so as to provide students with a broad educational base combining research, practice and creative development. Technical, design, performance skills and practice are integrated in various ways with the study of critical theory, theatre history, dramaturgy and dramatic literature. Dramatic Arts offers two concurrent BA (Honours)/BEd programs over five years. See calendar entry under Education - BA (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior) and Education BA Integrated Studies (Honours) (Junior/Intermediate). Projects include two major productions, as well as various minor productions and events, such as the School of Fine and Performing Arts Spring Festival. The Dramatic Arts Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four-year period. Students spend one year in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of dramatic arts prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees). Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Dramatic Arts Co-op program. The Dramatic Arts Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.  
Language Requirement for Humanities Majors Go to top of document
Students in the Department of Dramatic Arts are required to complete one credit in a language other than English. Where half-credit courses are used to satisfy the requirement, both half credits must be in the same language. It is recommended that students satisfy this requirement by year 3. (Theatre stream students are urged to satisfy this requirement in year 1).  
Program Notes Go to top of document
1.  Students must satisfy context requirements before year 3.  
2.  A minimum of 60 percent in both DART 1F93 and 1F99 is required in order to proceed as a major in any of the Dramatic Arts streams.  
3.  Students may apply to audition for the Performance Concentration at the end of year 1. Students accepted to the Performance Concentration will replace DART 2P42 with DART 3P10 in their course patterning; some spring and summer courses are required.  
4.  Year 3 courses are normally restricted to students with at least three 2(alpha)00 credits or permission of the instructor.
