What comes first
dibs has no class page for THEATER 27A, in any term it holds, that it can state prerequisites from, so it cannot say what comes before it. A page read while a class still reads Tentative does not count.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
(Formerly numbered 27.) Studio, three to four hours.
