The Dramatic Literature Program is an interlocking series of courses, with the objective of helping the student to develop a critical awareness of drama both as text and as performance; and to recreate the play imaginatively from a study of the text itself and from the context of its conventions, traditions and stage history.

The Dramatic Literature Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a five-year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of dramatic literature prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

Admission to the Co-op program is on the basis of marks, a personal interview, audition and short essay handwritten on site. The normal requirement for admission is a minimum 80 percent average on six OACs (or equivalent). As this is a limited enrolment program, admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirement. The Co-op Programs Office and the Department of Fine Arts will facilitate admission decisions.

Students admitted to the Co-op program must follow the Dramatic Literature Co-op program schedule. Failure to adhere to the schedule may result in removal from the Dramatic Literature Co-op program. Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Dramatic Literature Co-op program.

The Dramatic Literature Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Students in the Department of Fine Arts are required to complete one credit in a language other than English. Where half credit courses are used to satisfy the requirements, both half credits must be in the same language. It is recommended that students fulfil this requirement by year 2. (Theatre students are urged to fulfil this requirement in year 1.)
