Participants complete a 15-hour core curriculum highlighting artistic interdisciplinary connections. Within the theatre specialization, students follow mandatory coursework alongside tailored studies aligned with their professional aspirations and skill sets. The doctoral program mandates 60 credit hours beyond the master's level, divided between Fine Arts core classes, Theatre Arts courses, and dissertation research.
