Theatre Education - Emerson College

Theatre Education from Emerson College is a Campus Master Theatre degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Department of Performing Arts offers the Master of Arts degree in Theatre Education for students who wish to pursue careers and opportunities that lie at the intersection of the fields of theatre and education. As such, this program provides professional training in both theatre and education and in the uses of theatre and drama as vehicles of education in a multitude of settings. The program also serves as preparation for doctoral work in theatre , education, or related fields. The graduate program is designed with a central core of courses, with additional work in areas of special interest to students, in order to support a broad range of individual career goals. Along with the central core, there are three course streams that students can follow to meet their career goals. The Theatre Teacher Education stream is for those students who plan to teach theatre and drama to children or adolescents within school settings (many of whom earn Massachusetts state teacher licensure). Theatre and Community, the second stream, is for students interested in the uses of theatre in a variety of community settings. This stream's curriculum focuses on theatre practices, and points of view that provide for cultural exchanges and social change. Opportunities to work with diverse peoples in both classes and in communities, including professional and grassroots artists in the field, are also offered. The Theatre Education (doctorate preparation) stream prepares students who wish to continue their graduate studies, pursue a doctorate in the field, and teach at the college level.
