PhD Minor

The mission of the graduate program in Theater and Performance Studies (TAPS) is to educate students who work on the leading edge of both scholarly and performance practice. The PhD program includes the study of critical theory, dramatic literature, performance theory, theater history, and performance making. Graduate students complete a program with a rigorous study of critical theory, textual history, production elements (directing, acting, choreography, writing, and design), and embodied research.
