The SJSU Master of Arts in Theatre addresses an increasing
need for highly educated, creative professionals in tv, radio,
film and theatrical production. Our emphasis on research and
scholarship-based approaches to matters of performance occurs
within a dynamic department which is engaged on the cutting
edge of multidisciplinary and multicultural approaches to
these fields, and with an emphasis on nurturing leaders: directors,
writers, producers, and educators. |
Masters
students in our program develop strong methodological research skills
and actively engage in the critical discourse that helps advance
our disciplines. The Master's degree will give you enhanced authority,
confidence and credibility within an increasingly diverse professional
community. The expertise and experience you acquire here will likely
serve multiple objectives, some of which you may well discover as
you are engaged in and learning from your studies.
Much
of our program's focus is on the application of scholarship to
teaching and to production, whether on an advanced university
level (usually requiring the ultimate attainment of the Ph.D.),
or in other academic and management areas where the M.A. degree
itself provides entry.
Our
program is relatively small with about 40 active graduate students
full and part-time. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely
with your student colleagues and faculty members in their research
areas and their distinctive academic identities and professional
accomplishments.

is all about. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Thank
you for your interest in our unique Master of Arts degree program.
