Introduction

This five-year program leads to a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama Education from the Faculty of Arts and a Bachelor of Education from the Werklund School of Education. A minimum of 150 units (25 full-course equivalents) must be successfully completed.

Present certification requirements of the Province of Alberta can be satisfied. When planning courses, students should take into consideration Alberta Teacher Certification Requirements. For details, refer to the Werklund School of Education website.

The BFA (Drama Education) program is a specialized three-year program, which exists only in combination with the two-year BEd. It is designed for students intending either to teach drama in schools or to work as drama specialists with young people or community groups following certification. It provides extensive course work in performance creation and other aspects of the theatre, which relate directly to the particular needs of theatre with and for youth and communities.

Admission

Students must meet the admissions requirements for the Faculty of Arts as well as the Werklund School of Education as specified in the Undergraduate Admissions section of this Calendar.

A. FACULTY OF ARTS REQUIREMENTS FOR CONCURRENT DEGREES

Students must adhere to the applicable Faculty of Arts requirements in 3.4 Graduation.

B. MAJOR-FIELD REQUIREMENTS FOR DRAMA AND NORMAL SEQUENCE

Students must successfully complete the following program of study, which includes from 60 to 78 units (10.0 to 13.0 full-course equivalents) in the Field of Drama:

Drama Courses

Non-Drama Courses

  • 9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) in non-Drama options
  • 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) in English
  • 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) of open options

Notes:

  • Students in this program must meet the requirements for the BEd degree set by the Werklund School of Education. See 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 for the Elementary or Secondary Route in their part of the calendar.
  • Drama 223 is a 3 unit course (half-course equivalent) normally offered in the Fall Term. Drama 225 is also a 3 unit course (half-course equivalent) but it runs over the entire year and students must register in both “A” and “B” parts. Consequently, first year course loads for the Fall Term are 13.5 units (4.5 half-course equivalents) and for Winter Term 16.5 units (5.5 half-course equivalents). This will still maintain full-time status, however, students are advised to contact a program advisor in the Arts Students' Centre for information concerning their registration.
