The elements of the proficiency requirement are as follows.

This degree prepares students for teaching theatre. Involvement in two or more productions each year provides experience in the areas of acting, set design, musical theatre, and technical theatre. A focus on the UIL one act play prepares students for involvement in directing a competition play. Full-time theatre majors are required to audition for the fall and spring productions, and aid in productions, through performance or as part of the crew.
