To best meet the needs of our students, we have decided to suspend enrollment in the Three-Summer Option. We encourage you to explore our Master of Arts in Educational Theatre in Colleges and Communities.

Three-Summer Option with Global Study

Our three-summer option for the 36-credit MA program in Educational Theatre for Colleges and Communities attracts teachers, teaching artists, theatre directors, actors, language and speech arts specialists, community leaders, college instructors, and other students and professionals who can devote their summers to immersive experiences and intensive study.
