The M.A. in Theatre at University of Kentucky affords a great deal of flexibility for the serious student of theatre studies. Focusing on an understanding of theory, dramatic literature and history of theatre, the M.A. is an excellent bridge to further study, either in a M.F.A. or Ph.D. program.

The M.A. in Theatre requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate course work with a grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher. Students are encouraged to seek courses in an allied subject (a total of 6 credit hours outside the Department of Theatre). These courses must have the approval of the student's advisor or the Director of Graduate Studies for theatre.

Students may choose Plan A (Thesis and Oral Defense) or Plan B (comprehensive written and oral exams) to complete degree requirements.

To enter this degree program, the candidate is required to have courses approximating those required for a B.A. degree in Theatre. Undergraduate courses may be required to fulfill deficiences.
