Becoming a theatre artist requires mastering one field of study while developing knowledge and respect for the others. For this reason MFA students at Iowa have their own intensive programs and work closely with one another across disciplines. The art of the theatre occurs most successfully with this kind of open collaboration. When you apply for an MFA program at Iowa you are applying for admission to a community of artists.
Each of Iowa’s MFA programs is:
- An intensive 3-year course of study
- Dedicated to the development of theatre artists & new work
- Grounded in the study of dramatic literature
- Connected to its sister programs by means of formal & informal collaborations
