<p>I don’t know if you were talking to me or Tarhunt, but when people say “theatre major” they mean performance major. TAPS is not that no matter how you slice it, which is why I made the distinction between a “theatre major” and a “theatre studies major.” It’s similar to the music major. Sure, there’s a performance component, but it’s hardly the focus. Likewise with, say, Cinema and Media Studies. CMST is not a “film major” in the way that people mean when they say “I want to study film.”</p>
<p>This is to be expected since the College, as a liberal arts institution, disavows the practica one would find at an art school or a film school. It’s also why the College doesn’t offer pre-professional degrees like business or pre-law.</p>
