David McCandless, Director

The Shakespeare Studies minor is part of the Theatre Arts program. The interdisciplinary field of Shakespeare Studies connects the playwright and his works with the culture of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. The Shakespeare Studies minor at SOU emphasizes the performance of Shakespeare’s plays and their cultural impact during the past 400 years. The program is supported by the special resources of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), the Margery Bailey Renaissance Collection, and the Center for Shakespeare Studies.

Requirements for the Shakespeare Studies Minor


A minimum of 23 credits of approved courses.

Note:


Students who use ENG 201 /SHS 201 / TA 201  to fulfill the minor core requirements may use ENG 202  /SHS 202  /TA 202  as an elective, and vice versa. The same principle applies to the upper division Shakespeare courses named above: those using ENG 436 /SHS 436  /TA 436  or SHS 399  or SHS 438  as a required course may use courses of the other numbers as elective credit. To count toward the minor, ENG 448 /ENG 548  and TA 458 /TA 558  must focus on a major figure (e.g., Chaucer, Donne, or Milton) or topic (e.g., Jacobean tragedy) pertinent to the Renaissance.
