The Master of Arts at Miami is a two-year program in Theatre Studies intended to prepare students for further study at the doctoral or M.F.A. level.

Build a strong foundation in the areas of performance theory and criticism, dramatic literature, and theatre history, and at the same time have the opportunity to explore and refine your skills as directors, playwrights, dramaturges, or designers.

At any given time, there are between seven and ten graduate students enrolled in the program, which allows faculty mentors to devote a significant amount of personalized attention.

Students come to our graduate program from throughout the U.S. and the world, with a wide variety of theatre and life experience, making the community here a diverse and exciting place to study.

Our recent graduates have consistently achieved success in prestigious Ph.D. and M.F.A. programs nationwide, while others have gone on to work in the professional theatre or to teach at the secondary level.
