The Department of Dramatic Arts (DART, as of July 1, 2002), part of the School of Fine and Performing Arts, addresses the study, application and interrogation of the discipline as cultural and educational practice.

The Department of Dramatic Arts offers four-year programs of study leading to a BA honours, a three-year BA pass degree program in Dramatic Arts degree with streams in Drama in Education, Dramatic Literature, and Theatre and a four year (20 credit) BA with a Major in Theatre degree. The Department also offers both a Concentration and Certificate program in Drama in Education for non-DART majors. All three areas are united under one goal: to integrate theory and practice so as to provide students with a broad base of education combining research, practice and creative development. Technical, design and performance skills and practice are integrated in various ways with the study of critical theory, theatre history, dramaturgy and dramatic literature.

Projects include two major productions, as well as various minor productions and events such as the School of Fine and Performing Arts Spring Festival.

The Dramatic Arts 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 arts 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 Dramatic Arts will facilitate admission decisions.

Students admitted to one of the Dramatic Arts Co-op programs must follow the appropriate Co-op program schedule for their degree as outlined below. Failure to adhere to the schedule may result in removal from the Dramatic Arts 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 Arts Co-op program.

The Dramatic Arts 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 Dramatic 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 stream students are urged to fulfil this requirement in year 1).

Program Notes

1.	An audition is required prior to enrolment in DART 1F99.
2.	Students must satisfy context requirements before year 3.
3.	A minimum of 60 percent in both DART 1F93 and 1F99 is required in order to proceed as a major in any of the Dramatic Arts streams.
4.	Course cycling pattern for courses in Dramatic Literature is as follows:
5.	Year A: DART 2F95, 2F97, 3F93 Year B: DART 2F98, 3F97 In 2002-2003 students may substitute DART 2V93 and 2V94 for either DART 2F95 or 2F98.
6.	Year 3 courses are normally restricted to students with at least three 2(alpha)00 credits or permission of the instructor.
7.	Students seeking admission to the honours program must have a minimum 70 percent average in their DART courses. Enrolment in some courses may be restricted due to space limitations.
8.	Students wishing to pursue a career in teaching at the high school level must plan their first year context courses and electives carefully in order to attain the required three courses in a single area of study outside Dramatic Arts as a second teachable. This applies particularly to students in the Drama in Education stream, due to their limited number of electives.
9.	In all 20 credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above. In all 15 credit degree programs, at least seven credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, three of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above.
