The graduate program offered by the Department of Theatre leads to the degree of Master of Fine Arts. The degree prepares students for professional entry in per- formance, production, or teaching. Placement in the MFA program is determined by audi- tion/portfolio review, academic credentials, diagnostic testing, and personal interview. The program combines graduate students in a company intent on the study and practice of theatre as an art and discipline. Students of acting and design study concepts of theatre together while working in their areas of speciali- zation. Focus is on the collaboration and synthesis of theatre artistry. Each incoming class admits approxi- mately 10 students with 9 graduate faculty. The student's artistic and academic progress will be reviewed at the end of each semester. The Department of Theatre Handbook gives details on the form and focus of each review. A qualifying project with public performance and document recordingthe creative process is prerequisite to the final project. At the beginning of Semester IV, each student must successfully complete the comprehensive examination and oral defense. The project in lieu of thesis includes research, analysis, rehearsal process, and evalu- ation. Development and execution of the project includes public performance (acting or design). The written docu- ment and oral defense of the project which follow must demonstrate the ability to communicate the creative process. Graduate students audition for all departmental pro- ductions. All graduate students, undergraduates, and faculty meet for a required departmental meeting one hour each week during the academic year. In addition to the MFA, the Department of Theatre offers an emphasis through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department of Communication Processes and Disorders, leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
