MFA in Theatre in Orlando United States | University of Central Florida

This highly competitive three-year professional program combines intensive theater studies with hands-on training. The MFA curriculum is built on the principle that academic learning and stage experience are equally important and mutually reinforcing. Productions are woven into coursework as they provide the ideal platform for synthesizing all aspects of dramatic arts. Our goal is to seamlessly blend performance opportunities with classroom instruction to maximize learning outcomes.

Beyond developing exceptional theater skills, students must show they grasp the theoretical foundations of their craft and can communicate these concepts clearly. The department aims to attract and nurture graduate students who, alongside faculty, can mentor undergraduates in BA and BFA programs that are closely aligned with the graduate curriculum.
