Acting Minor

As the Bard declared, “All the world’s a stage.” Personal presentation, image management, and the ability to command oneself with confidence in multiple situations are skills applicable for students in nearly any major. The minor in Acting prepares students for performance in the theater, in front of the camera, and/or on the proverbial global stage. 

For the minor in Acting at Mount Saint Mary’s University a total of 18 units of credit are required. Also, 9 units of the 18 must be upper division credit (3 UD courses) which cannot be used to fulfill requirements for the major, general education, or another minor.
