5.Texas State University- San Marcos
Offers a Graduate MFA
The history-criticism emphasis is especially recommended for students who plan to go into a doctoral program after completing their master's degree. A research thesis is part of the history-criticism degree plan. Some history-criticism students choose to specialize in production dramaturgy. Students who choose the dramaturgy specialization complete assignments as dramaturgs on Mainstage productions, and assemble a dramaturgical production book and production archive as part of their written thesis.
Two Year Program
6.The University of British Columbia
PhD
We are a small Graduate Program, and expect that applicants will be able to match their research interests to those of the Graduate Committee: Canadian Studies, Dramaturgy, Post-Colonial Theatre, and some aspects of 19th Century European and Modern British, American and Canadian Theatre.
Program is at least "two winter sessions." What a Canadian way of putting something...
This is a very interesting tid-bit:Doctoral candidates must demonstrate reading knowledge of one language (other than English) relevant to their research area and/or in which there exists a significant body of dramatic literature, performance history documents, or criticism. Where appropriate, this language may be a “language of the stage” including musical, choreographic, and gestural notation systems (e.g., Labanotation, American Sign Language). Special cases for examination in other language systems not covered here will be heard and evaluated individually.
7. Mary Baldwin College
You can receive an MFA with an emphasis in Dramaturgy at this college. It is 63 credit hours including the MLitt (still not quite sure what this is.)
Located in Stauton, VA
This is an interesting program because anything you find out about dramaturgy or their MFA in any sort of art is assocaited with the MFA in Shakespeare Studies, which is unusual. And it is also uncommon just because this is an all women's college. They say the stress both academics and stagecraft. This is what they say about their dramaturgy emphasis: DramaturgyDramaturgy, the art of writing for the theatre, is the discipline which unites scholarship and stagecraft. Dramaturgs use their knowledge of the Early Modern social, historical, and cultural context to contribute to choices made by actors, directors and designers in rehearsal and in production. The dramaturgy emphasis leaves little room for elective classes. The program advises MLitt dramaturgy students to begin taking MFA required courses during the two MLitt years because some of the required courses are offered every other year
Ones that only partially work:
-I thought it was interesting that one can get their BFA in dramaturgy at the University of Arizona and DePaul in Chicago and the University of Oklahoma and University of Nebraska, Lincoln (sort of).
-An MA in Critical Theory and Dramaturgy is available form the University of Ottawa
-Virginia Commonwealth University
Richmond, VA
MFA in Pedagogy with specialization in Dramaturgy
-Vague description of a PhD program with emphasis in Dramaturgy at the University of Michigan.
-You can now win an award at KCACTF in Dramaturgy. That's new and exciting.
