Blinn College District / Lamar University Notes & Comments
- Blinn College Notes/Comments:
*LU requires Acting I and II and strongly recommends Blinn students take DRAM 1351 and 1352 as DRAMA Electives as part of their AA Theatre degree. - Lamar University Notes/Comments:
- Credit hour numbers vary on students’ choice of Theatre or Dance classes as electives. Some dance technique classes are only 2 credit hours. Students must be enrolled in at least 12 hours per semester to qualify for financial aid and scholarships.
- LUTD will do its best to accept all 60 hours of the Associates from Blinn and have the student complete a degree in 120 hours, though one or two extra hours may be required to complete the needed hours as per course requirements (Lamar offers very few 1 credit hour classes).
