Classes at Our CCC Drama Department
Welcome to our CCC Drama Department's classes section. Here you can find information about our theatre class offerings, including information on our Associates of Arts Transferable Theatre Arts Degree.
Associates of Arts in Theatre Arts
The Associate Degree in Theatre Arts for Transfer at Contra Costa College prepares students to move into a program at a CSU or UC university to a baccalaureate degree in theatre arts. Completion of a B.A. in Theatre Arts can lead to professional careers in acting, technical theatre, stage management, stage direction, and design.
Students wishing to obtain a transferable degree in theatre need to complete a total of 18 units in theatre related courses. These 18 units are on top of the general education units required for transferring.
Students wishing to participate in our theatre productions must first audition if wishing to participate as actors or be interviewed if wishing to participate in the technical side of a production. When accepted, students must register for either one of our "Theatre Practice and Performance" classes or one of our "Technical Theatre in Production" classes, depending on the type of participation.
Course Offerings
The Drama Department offers a variety of theatre courses. Some courses are offered every semester, others are offered once a year, while others only as needed. Check the course schedule found in the college's main website for current offerings.
Our courses are offered in two different modalities: in person and online. Our face-to-face classes are 16-weeks long. Our online courses are offered completely online with no face-to-face meetings. In other words, they are all asynchronous. Online classes are either 16 weeks (whole semester) or 8 weeks, 6 weeks, or 4 weeks.
