Taking classes outside your school?

<p>Does anyone know if it's possible for a journalism major at CAS to take classes outside of CAS, like a theatre class at Tisch?</p>

<p>A lot of classes are restricted to those who only have that particular major. I would say it’s pretty difficult for a journalism major (or any other major, for that matter) to enroll in a theatre class, since admission to Tisch is pretty particular in the first place. However, it should be easier to take other classes in different schools–for instance, you can take a variety of comm classes in Steinhardt. However, I would say that specialized courses such as theatre would be fairly difficult to enroll in.</p>

<p>You can definitely take some theatre classes at Tisch through the Open Arts program they offer: [Cross</a> Registration: Tisch School of the Arts at NYU](<a href=“Special Programs”>Special Programs)</p>

<p>You just won’t be able to double major in it. I don’t know about the policy on minors though.</p>

<p>The drama classes offered through the Tisch Open Arts Curriculum are open to non-Tisch students. This is the purpose of them. :slight_smile: You will not, however, be able to take any of the same classes as Tisch drama majors. There is no minor in Drama offered.</p>

<p>^
Wrong. Tisch kids can take those classes too.</p>

<p>rszanto: I don’t think anyone said Tisch students couldn’t…</p>

<p>yes, you can take classes through the open arts curriculum (as someone else said)!</p>

<p>BEWARE, however, because you cannot take more than 16 credits outside of CAS without petitioning to Dean something-or-other. So don’t overdo it freshman year if you know you want to take more classes later, or do the producing minor or something.</p>

<p>Whoops! I guess I am slowly starting to lose my mind while waiting for August 24th to swing by…</p>

<p>Oo how is the Producing minor? Do you know? Is it good for film majors to take up?</p>

<p>I don’t think you would need to. All you would have to do would be to sign up for the producing classes during sophmore, junior, and senior years. I think that option is more for CAS students. Although, I have been wrong before…</p>

<p>yeah, a lot of film majors take it! anyone in CAS, Stern or Tisch can do it though.</p>
