Graduate Programs and Certificates

Graduate Studies

For those pursuing an advanced degree, we offer the following graduate-level opportunities:

B.A./Accelerated Masters of Arts Management
MFA in Visual and Performing Arts, with a concentration in Theater*
Teaching Theater PK-12 Graduate Certificate
Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies (M.A.I.S.)**

* The Theater concentration in the MFA in Visual and Performing Arts is a selective program designed for theater artists with some professional experience and who continue to work professionally during their course of study. Students are admitted to a specific emphasis: acting, design & technology, directing, musical theater, or playwriting & dramaturgy. Specific programs of study will be designed for each individual, based on previous experience and expertise.

** As MAIS is in a different college, prospective students will need to contact both that department and the Theater department for assistance with an application.
