Parkland College

Theatre Arts

Program Code: FTHE AA

Associate in Arts (A.A.)
Minimum graduation requirement — 63 semester hours

To transfer into a bachelor’s program in theatre arts as a junior, students need to complete an Associate in Arts degree prior to transfer. Since admission is competitive, however, completion of these courses alone does not guarantee admission.

Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland academic advisor or counselor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend.

Program Note
THE 100 may not be used as a Fine Arts elective for students pursuing an A.A. in Theatre Arts.
