MA / PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies

University of California - Santa Barbara

The MA/Ph.D. program is intended for students with only a BA who show outstanding potential for doctoral-level study. All MA/Ph.D. students complete the Master of Arts Degree in their first 2 years before advancing to doctoral studies, which is by invitation only. They will then take an additional year of courses before advancing to candidacy. A course of study designed with special rigor for exceptional students, the MA/Ph.D. program combines the requirements for both the M.A. and the Ph.D. programs. Consultation with the Graduate Advisor and/or the Graduate Program Assistant should take place frequently so that the student is on track to fulfill each and every requirement.
