Current Criteria for Theatre Dept. Honors
There are four components in Determining Honors for the Theatre Major
Students MUST obtain the following two components:
1. GPA of 3. 5 in Theatre courses.
2. Excellence in overall performance, positive attitude, and overall contribution to the Theatre Arts program.

AND

Student must obtain TWO of the following three components:
•    Honors on the optional Written Exam.
•    Honors on optional Oral Exam.
•    Honors on Theatre Arts SIP*.
*If a student chooses to do a non-theatre SIP, in order to be considered for departmental honors s/he must complete both the optional Written and Oral Exams, earning a grade of Honors on EACH exam.

PROCEDURE FOR HONORS APPLICATION
1.    The entire process is voluntary. It is only for students who intend to attempt the honors procedure. Students must notify the Dept Chair or Senior Comps Coordinator that they intend to attempt the Honors procedure and specify which component (written or oral) s/he chooses to do first by 12 noon on Thursday of Exam week in Winter Quarter so the faculty can determine Spring scheduling.
2.    Students use the third play from their Senior Seminar Comprehensive Exam on which to write or present. Students shall work completely independently. The written exam or the oral presentation will be completed by Week 2 Friday of Spring Quarter.  Students shall be informed of their grades on the written exam or oral presentation no later than Week 3 Friday of Spring Quarter.
3.    Students who choose to complete both the written exam and the oral presentation (e.g., perhaps a student did not receive an Honors grade on her SIP, or has not yet received a SIP grade) will be scheduled on a case-by-case basis. Preferably  students will have completed the entire honors process by Friday of Week 5 in Spring Quarter.
