Theatre: The Art of Empathy

Catalog description

This course is designed for students studying in programs such as Health Sciences, Human & Public Service, Business, and Agriculture who are interested in strengthening their "soft skills" in empathy, collaboration, creativity, and communication.

Students read and debate theatrical literature, as well as devise original plays to explore the intricacies and contradictions of human behavior.
