The minor in drama provides students with the opportunity to study theatre practice as well as dramatic literature. Drama minors are encouraged to develop an understanding of drama as it exists on the page and to contribute to its enactment on stage. Though the program is housed in the English department of the College of Arts and Sciences, it is possible for students to take drama minor electives from the Hartt School.

The 18-credit minor consists of one introductory course in theatre studies, one stagecraft course, one acting course, and a theatre production class that serves as a culminating experience for minors. Elective courses are offered in such subjects as playwriting and directing. Production opportunities include those mounted by the University Players, a performance group that each year presents a fully mounted production, directed by a faculty member, in which students can participate for credit. Student productions are also offered by the student drama club, Dramatis Personae. Additional opportunities include independent studies and internships with professional companies such as the Hartford Stage Company and TheaterWorks.
