Description
The Master of Arts in Theatre exists to provide a broad-based, comprehensive body of knowledge regarding theatre and drama at an advanced level. It is designed to appeal especially to students who wish to teach or to undertake an intensive pedagogical experience en route to the PhD. Furthermore, it serves as a practical training ground for students hoping to enter an MFA program or the professional theatre. The program includes a carefully planned combination of theory and practice; however, with attentive counseling, students determine a sub-specialization in history, criticism, or some aspect of performance, technology, or design.
