Degree in Theatre & Dance Requirements at State University Of New York Fredonia
Transfer students admitted into B.F.A. degree programs should expect to spend a minimum of three years on the SUNY Fredonia campus.
In addition to the specific and individual courses, periodic reviews of achievement/improvement are conducted for the B.F.A. Acting and Production Design student with the purpose of determining advancement/retention. At the conclusion of the fourth semester, the performance or design faculty reviews the student and a determination made as to permission for continuance in the program. Students with unfavorable evaluations will not be permitted to continue study in the B.F.A. but may continue in the B.A. General Theatre program.
Students in the B.F.A. Acting program must present acting juries at the conclusion of each semester, and must perform a senior recital or a leading role in a departmental production during their fourth year. B.F.A. Acting and Musical Theatre majors are required to audition for all Department of Theatre and Dance productions.
B.F.A. Production Design students, prior to graduation, must formally present portfolios and participate in the senior design exhibit.
All Theatre majors and minors are required to complete Theatre Practice obligations that are practical extensions of the classroom and vary in accordance with the specific programs. The Theatre Practice commitment requires approximately 10 clock hours per week and may, in special cases, require significantly more time. Theatre Practice credit does not count toward the total number of credits required in the B.F.A. Musical Theatre degree program.
All departmental majors must successfully complete a minimum of 30 upper-level credit hours and appropriate supporting courses as determined by faculty advisement.
Students who are on academic probation will not be permitted to perform in public performances nor will major technical crew assignments be permitted.
Transfer students in the B.A. General Theatre Studies degree program must complete at least 60 percent (27 credit hours) of their major at Fredonia.
