At my last university, majors were required to do 4-6 credits of 
practicum.  Credits varied by major (some majors had higher core course 
loads than others -- they got a break on practicum).  Within each 
semester, the practicum students were divided among the various crews 
for each production (3 productions per semester.)  I don't remember 
specific hour requirements for the class, sorry.
