I wanted to ask the same question.

But, Theatre Arts an extension of or alternative to Mass communication? No. It can and will never be. Theatre Arts is a world on its own. As listed above (with reference to Masscomm), Theatre Arts has very numerous arms and each arm is elaborate and interesting. That's why Theatre is always called a synthesis/complexus of many Arts.

It's only in Theatre Arts you will be doing history, classics, Masscom, Linguistics, English related course. Of you can't endure, theatre isn't for you

Theatre Art is not a world on its own. It is a branch of performing arts. If you read further, you would understand why they take up courses such as classics, mass communication, linguistics.

Every department does a variety of courses outside their major discipline. There is nothing special about that. It is just how education should be. There is hardly a department where you won't do history, statistics, English and some English-related courses, even if they are all combined into a GES course.

Our universities should focus more on STEM courses. We need research to grow... these art courses will do us no good. Why should one be studying broadcasting and advertising in the university? Waste of resources.

I agree that we need to focus more on STEM courses than we presently are.

But, don't look down on the importance of other courses. Every course has its place in society. Mass media will always be a part of society, and an important agent of socialization.

And broadcasting can provide research grounds for graduates of STEM courses.

Theatre Arts is a branch of performing Arts?? What is performing Arts What's Theatre Arts? Please, tell me, I need to learn.

And I'm not talking about the courses borrowed outside the department, that's normal and should be expected. I'm talking of courses within the department that have little or no difference from the courses from those related departments.

Some old school lectures have refused to allowed for progress. Agricultural engineering is a broad course. Some schools now go by the agricultural and environmental engineering which is more appropriate. The course is a good program on it own. But the way it being handled in some schools, you will end up learning everything and learning nothing. If you can get a school that will allows you specialize after two year, the better.

Performing arts include dance, theatre, music, circus art, comedy, and even magic.

Theatre is just a branch of performing arts. It is not the only performing art that we have.

As for borrowed courses, those courses are related to theatre in one way or the other. You will have to do courses such as histories related to theatre or performing arts generally, as well as English-related courses.

For instance, in Psychology, there are departmental core courses that are Social Works courses as well as Statistics, Biology, and even Law. In short, psychology students do courses in nearly, if not, in all departments. Because psychology is relevant in all spheres of life. So, in psychology, you will do varieties of courses (not borrowed) in the arts, the social sciences and the sciences. Do you know there is even an engineering psychology?

I understand why they feel the need to do this and I think it's great that they want to push hard towards a certain future. However, they need to stop and consider a few things.

If someone starts a business, if an engineer develops great technology, if we need the support of the public in a key effort, or anything similar -- someone needs to effectively communicate that value and engage people.

There are literally tons of engineers who are ignored despite having amazing ideas and developing awesome technology. They're great at development, but not at getting people to appreciate what they've done. There are great business people, scientists, doctors, and politicians who struggle with the same thing. There are people with backwards or weak ideas, but great marketing and understanding of this.

I don't think it's wise to dismiss the value of communications.

Why don't these schools change the programs to align with STEM, business, politics, and etc? Train them not just to be great communicators, but to have a rich understanding of how to make the biggest impact with that training.

Not that easy for those without connections. I've been searching and no good news yet even with my 1.1
the old ones with outdated notes and research with no breakthrough are not ready to leave, instead they are taking more roles in other universities mostly private, that's why majority of young people can't get lecturing job except with connections

You made me.laugh, sir. Theatre Arts isn't a branch of performing arts. Infact, Theatre Arts is more encompassing. Simply put, Theatre is a synthesis of many Arts (be it performing or not). Theatre Arts 8s not limited to performance. You may study Theatre and have no need to appear before the audience while your arts speaks directly to the audience.

By your ruling, Play writing, media, children theatre, management, stage management and lots more are outside the scope of Theatre Arts.

I understand your point as regards courses borrowed outside the department. My reference is not to that. I was talking of the internal courses taken within the department that have affirms the similarity and closeness of the course with other courses
