School Location
The MFA in Theatre Arts, Option in Dramatic Writing, is offered by the Department of Theatre Arts with primary support from the Department of Film and Electronic Arts, and additional support from the Department of Comparative Literature and Classics, and the Department of Communication Studies. This program is designed to turn out professional writers and university/college teachers of writing. This is a terminal degree requiring 60 units of coursework. Normally, this means two years of full-time study, followed by thesis writing. We believe this to be the first expansive multi-disciplinary MFA in writing. The curriculum will imbue its graduates with knowledge and practice to work and teach in more than one discipline.

"Dramatic Writing" is defined as creative writing (original or adapted, fiction or non-fiction) ultimately intended for collaborative and performance media, including but not limited to theatre, dance, music, film, television, animation, radio, internet, and podcasting -- writing for both traditional AND emergent media. “Dramatic writing” encompasses all genres and is not limited to “drama”. A thesis in this program may be an original play, screenplay, choreography, storyboard, or other form of “play”, or may be an original work for a print medium -- such as a novel or graphic novel or poetry -- provided that the student also completes the adaptation to a collaborative and performance medium.
