Additional Notes:

With UNR Theatre advisor approval, some THTR 209 units taken at TMCC may substitute for 200-level THTR Practicum units at UNR. When this substitution occurs, additional General Elective credit may be necessary to ensure all unit requirements for the bachelor’s degree are met.

A combination of coursework in semesters 5-8 used to fulfill non-specific core curriculum, College Breadth, Additional Practicum, and/or General Elective requirements may need to be taken at the 300/400-level, to ensure enough upper-division units are completed to meet university graduation requirements.
