The MA degree program in Theatre Studies at UH is recommended for individuals with a strong interest in the scholarly aspects of theatre-particularly dramaturgy, theatre history, and performance studies. The program is ideal for students interested in going on to pursue the PhD or working as a professional dramaturg. This program constitutes Options I and II of the program (Thesis vs Non-thesis options).
Option III of the program is the summer program, MA for Theatre Educators. The summer MA program is an affordable and convenient path for busy theatre educators to accomplish a graduate degree in three short summer sessions. Coursework in the summer MA is developed keeping in mind that students want to further develop their theatre education programs and classes.
