Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts

The foundation of this program lies in practical application centered in production experience and management of production processes. Each student, in agreement with her/his Principal Advisor and graduate committee, develops a personalized program over the course of three years that responds to the student's background, needs, and goals. Students work on productions and projects in our department, the Moss Arts Center, or with regional arts organizations, assuming a greater responsibility as they progress through the program. In the student's final year, they undertake an internship with a theatre company, arts organization, or specific artist, providing students with extended experience in the field. The program remains small by design, accepting only a few students each year, to allow maximum production opportunities for the M.F.A. student.
