[cid:image002.jpg at 01DD67BC.1DFC27C0]Our program places students at the centre of their own training. Working with accomplished faculty artists and scholars, students shape their program around their creative and research interests, drawing on a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary options from within the SCPA and across the university. Theses can take many forms, giving students broad flexibility in both form and content. Graduate students have a dedicated research space in the Doolittle Studio, along with access to rehearsal halls and modest production resources.
Our graduate offerings include:

  *   An MFA Drama Interdisciplinary Research and Creation program
  *   Guaranteed funding packages for domestic and international students
  *   Interdisciplinary scholarship and creative research opportunities in one of the world's leading research universities.
Applications open October 1, 2026, and close January 15, 2027.
