The Minor in Comedy Writing and Performance is an 18-credit curriculum exploring comedy alongside an additional field of study.  While a Comedy Major examines comedy across different media platforms, a Comedy Minor has the opportunity to explore how comedy functions in conjunction with their primary field. This minor provides students who are specifically interested in a particular medium with opportunities to bolster that study with a complementary skillset in comedy. 

As a result of successfully completing program requirements, students should be able to:

• collaborate creatively within a broadly diverse ensemble of writer/performers;
• generate original comedic material using a variety of methods;
• conduct and apply research into historic comic styles and archetypes;
• produce comic material across a variety of media and for diverse audiences; and
• create comic material for a diverse audience across a variety of media, and revise through collaborative feedback.
