Elementary, Early Childhood and Special Education
The theatre education teaching minor provides a solid foundation for theatre teaching in elementary schools.
Students planning to teach theatre in elementary schools (pre-kindergarten through grade six) should seek teacher licensure through a major in early childhood education, elementary education or special education, offered through the Teacher Education Department.
Secondary Education
In addition to a teaching minor in theatre, in order to teach theatre in Indiana secondary schools (grades five through 12), a student must have a teaching major in another discipline and a secondary education licensure minor. Students preparing for careers in teaching secondary school in the liberal arts should review the College of Liberal Arts' teacher licensing policy.
