Music and humanities departments add new theatre/music major
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Evangel has added a new major combining courses from the music and humanities departments. Students may earn a bachelor of arts degree in theater/music with an emphasis in one of the two disciplines.
The major will be available to students this fall.
“The addition of this major will allow both the music department and humanities department to expand into new vocational areas within the broad field of music theatre,” according to Dr. Michael Kolstad, chair of the music department and coordinator of the new program.
“It is supported by faculty observations and student interests. There is a demand in both the professional sector and churches for graduates with this educational background,” Kolstad said.
This bachelor’s degree will prepare students for occupations in music theatre, theatre technology and other stage performance areas.
