Overview

The Department of Theatre and Film Studies from University of Georgia promotes the study of dramatic art across all cultures and in all its current media, including stage, film, computer animation, motion capture and interactive narrative.

Features

We offer two graduate degree programs: the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

The MFA program is pre-professional in nature, offered with concentrations in acting; scenic, lighting, and costume design; and dramatic media. The PhD program emphasizes research in the history and theory of dramatic art.

Programme Structure

The PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies is a scholarly, research degree that encourages the interaction of scholarly work with the practice of dramatic art.

As such, the program admits students who have both a strong creative background and the ability to research, analyze and write.

The PhD requires a full prior commitment to the pursuit of research and scholarly writing.

Facilities include four theatres, motion capture studio, digital video editing facilities, and an exceptional computer animation / CAD laboratory.
