Theatre Arts—Minor

Theatre Arts Minor Banner

Theatre Arts

Lights, camera, action! It’s your time to take center stage—and backstage as well—with a minor in Theatre Arts (FATA). You’ll get a taste of just about everything, including performance techniques in dramatic literature and acting, theatrical design, and career development. Plus, the minor offers a variety of innovative electives: voice and articulation, American musical theatre, costume design, lighting, and more. 


  • Don’t just read about it—at Michigan Tech, you’ll perform, create, develop, and design. Our courses are specially designed to prepare you for your career, not just for a degree.
  • Develop your acting skills through real, live performances at our Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts and traditional black box .
  • Get real-world experience by joining the Cin/Optic Communications and Media Enterprise program—a student-run business providing professional video services to the campus and community.
