2. Communications.
   
   1. A. The communications combined concentration is a group of seven courses that can combine with any other Albright College dual concentration program. It includes a core of intellectually rigorous conceptual courses and a choice of professional skills courses. The core courses provide a broad, critical, and humanistic understanding of the communication process and its interaction with society. Within the professional module, students can elect to refine their skills in journalism, advertising and public relations, oral and written communication, and electronic publishing.
      
      The communications combined concentration prepares students for careers in the mass media and for advanced study in communications and it helps students become informed and critical consumers of media products.
      
      Concentrators schedule seven courses divided among three core courses, three professional courses comprising either a journalism or a corporate communications track, and a practicum with an off-campus media organization.
      
      1. Core courses 250, 320, 490.
      2. Three of the following: 222, 230, 314, 315, 316, 317, 319. Journalism students must schedule 222 and 315. Corporate communications students must schedule 230 and 317.
      3. 333.
         
   2. The Theatre Program is a group of five courses that can supplement any Albright College concentration or combined concentration program. The program offers readings in dramatic literature, practical and theoretical introductions to theatre, and technical instruction. When enhanced by the performance and production opportunities afforded by the College’s Domino Players, the Theatre Program is at once an academic program, a creative outlet, preparation for post-graduate work in community or professional theatre, and a basis for further work in theatre on the graduate level.
      
      1. 1. All students take these three theatre courses: 110, 215, and 491 (theatre version).
      2. 2. Students choose two courses from among the following: 217, 235 (when dramatic topics are offered such as Comedy and Tragedy), 354, 388, and 389.
      3. 3. Electives: Acting-Directing Workshop (J-15), Acting Workshop (J-21), additional dramatic literature courses in group 2.
