2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog
Theatre (BA) 4-Year Plan (Design/Technology) ODD years
|
|
This 4-Year Plan is for students who enter the Theatre program with a concentration in Design-Technology in ODD numbered years (2023, 2025, 2027, etc).
NB: Students completing a Design/Technology concentration are required to complete a course in an advanced design or technology area. This course is specific to the design or technology area chosen as primary. Therefore, these courses are not specified on these sample four-year plans and must be scheduled through advising. This plan is only an example. Please see your advisor to develop your individualized plan. Course rotation and course offerings are subject to change based on faculty availability and enrollment minimums.
In June 2021, the Purdue University Board of Trustees adopted a civics literacy graduation requirement for undergraduates, including all transfer students. This requirement applies to all undergraduate students who enter Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fall 2022 or any subsequent semester. There are three different pathways:
Civics Event pathway - Attend four approved civics-related events and pass the required exam; or
Civics Literacy Recordings pathway - Complete four recordings located in the Civics Literacy Brightspace module and pass the required exam; or
Approved course pathway - Complete any approved course and pass the required exam. The exam is independent of the approved course. Course options include both Gen Ed and Elective offerings.
