PhD in Theatre

The Ph.D. Program in Theatre offers students a solid grounding in the theory, history, and criticism of theatre studies, while encouraging interdisciplinary thinking. The program takes advantage of the rich resources of New York City, with its professional theatre specialists, institutions, and myriad productions, as well as its library and museum facilities and its archives and private collections. Although the program emphasizes academic studies, attempts are made to form alliances of understanding between scholars and practitioners whenever possible. The Film Studies Certificate Program is closely allied with the program; students may do a portion of their course work in film studies, if they desire.
