Graduate program

Advisor: R. Wattenberg

The School of Theater + Film offers the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science. The Master of Arts degree prepares students who want to focus their graduate study on playwriting, research and scholarship in the history, literature, and criticism of the theater and who may also plan to continue their graduate work in a doctoral program in theater. The Master of Science degree prepares for students who wish to focus more intensively on performance and production areas in preparation for a career in the professional theater and/or further degree work in a Master of Fine Arts theater or film program. The program of each graduate student is planned in consultation with the School advisor.
