Doctoral students gain advanced knowledge of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century performance, including in acting, directing,
design, and choreography. Students graduate with the qualitative
and quantitative skills necessary for professional research and
teaching in performance criticism, history, media, theory, and
practice. For detailed information, visit the Performance Studies

the Ph.D. degree, only Ph.D. applications will be accepted. For
