As in the class drama.

In English you capitolize proper nouns i.e. the specific name for a given instance of a person, place, thing, idea, quality or concept. If the class is just called "Drama", then yes, you cap it. However, this seems unlikely to be the case. When I was in school (in the '90s...), we had classes like "Introduction to Dramatic Arts" and "Modern Western History - 1800 to Today". Notice the capitolization - everything but the little "it" and "but" words. However, if I were to refer to a class by a shorter, categorical name, it wouldn't get capitalized. For example, "I flunked my history test" or "I'll see you in gym class". Hope that helps.

Capitalize the word, "Drama," when referring to a class course, or formal titles/applications of the word (for ex: Introductory Drama, Drama Honor Society, National Association of Drama Teachers). Don't capitalize if you use as everyday noun/adjective.

No. If it is the title of a course, then you would capitalize it ONLY if it were followed by a number, such as Drama 1 or Drama 111. Otherwise, it is a common noun and is not capitalized unless it begins a sentence.
Chow!!
