The Theatre Arts AA Major and the Theatre Arts Transfer Major are designed for students who are pursuing either their two-year Associate in Arts degree or who are planning to transfer to four-year institutions in Theatre Arts. Both majors provide a basic foundation in theatre history and literature, "hands on experience" in several theatre arts disciplines including Acting, Stagecraft, and Costuming, and cultural and historical background necessary to understanding Theatre Arts. The majors may be of interest to those seeking a foundation in related disciplines, such as television, film, and other media. The majors may also be of interest to those seeking a foundation for lifelong learning as well.

Acceptance Rate:

Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) is a community college, and therefore, it doesn't have a traditional "acceptance rate" like a four-year university. Admission to SRJC is generally open, and there is no specific theatre arts department acceptance rate.
