A theatre student may pursue a combination of practical and theoretical studies. The doctoral program provides theatre students with a broad arts education that will prepare them for leadership roles in the fine arts, particularly in theatre organizations. Fine Arts Doctoral Students will select two areas of specialization from among these options: Acting/Directing; Arts Administration; Design; History/Theory/Criticism; and Playwriting.

Admission to the Fine Arts Doctoral Program is a dual-pronged process. Interested students must apply both to the Graduate School and to the Department of Theatre and Dance. Admission is based on meeting the requirements of the Graduate School as to prior academic record and GRE scores, obtaining the recommendation of the Department of Theatre and Dance, and meeting the approval of the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Committee (based upon departmental recommendation).
