Introduction
The theatre department offers a well-rounded program of courses that fulfil most lower-division requirements of four-year colleges and universities. MC theatre students have transferred successfully to the University of California system, the California State University system, and private colleges.
The Associate of Arts degree also prepares students for pre-professional and community theatre. Many Merced College theatre graduates are working professionally in film, theatre, and education. Students have many transfers and skills-based courses to choose from within the visual and performing arts fields. They receive extensive opportunities for gaining practical experience within their area of study. The area faculty and staff are dedicated to assisting students in achieving their educational goals, including transferring to a 4-year university, obtaining an associate’s degree or certificate, and life-long learning.
