About the course

The mission of the Master of Fine Arts Theatre Management program is to prepare students to make a thoughtful and impactful influence in the professional theatre. Through this three-year, fully-immersive program, students receive both the academic and practical training to lead professional theatres and other cultural institutions. While the focus of the MFA Theatre Management student's academics is on professional theatre training, many classes include students from the Master of Arts in Arts Administration program, where students follow one of three tracks: gallery management, music business, and theatre management. This overlap allows for profound collaboration and engagement with students from across many areas of the University. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
