Transfer Pattern Description


This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a B.A. or B.F.A. degree in Theatre. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or their Theatre discipline advisor for information about specific requirements. This sequence of courses should be adjusted to meet the requirements of the transfer institution.

CCBC is an accredited institutional member of The National Association of Schools of Theatre. The Theatre program transfer pattern follows guidelines established by that organization.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes


Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

  1. demonstrate an understanding of period research and historical perspectives as it relates to the cultural, social, aesthetic, philosophical and environmental issues utilized in theatrical performance;

Program Mission

The Theatre Program at CCBC is designed to provide curricular opportunities for students who wish to pursue further academic study in theatre, students who wish to pursue a career in professional theatre, non-theatre students who wish to take theatre arts electives, and community members who wish to enhance understanding and appreciation of the theatre.

In addition, the program strives to provide opportunities and support for artistic, academic and professional development for faculty and staff.
