The Master of Arts in Theatre Studies is a research-focused program that enables students to collaborate with renowned theatre scholars and professionals. This innovative curriculum blends theoretical and practical elements through diverse teaching methodologies. Students complete five courses, comprising two core requirements and three electives. The program delivers comprehensive graduate training that bridges academic theory with real-world application, equipping graduates for doctoral programs, academic careers, and various roles in the performing arts sector. Leveraging the distinguished faculty and the extensive Trellis Tri-University Library resources at Guelph, the program fosters independent scholarship through small class sizes, personalized mentorship, and culminating research projects (either thesis or major paper). Unlike performance-based graduate programs, this MA emphasizes rigorous academic investigation over practical theatre training.0,mkjjkkm
