Graduate Dramatic Media Experience
The MFA degree with an emphasis in dramatic media production draws from and combines the disciplines of theatre, dramatic media production, and computing. Designed primarily for students with undergraduate degrees in theatre but also open to students with a background in art, media or communications who wish to expand their experience to include both digital media and traditional performing arts disciplines. This is a three year program requiring 60 semester hours of course work beyond the BA degree.
