Overview | Program Information | Application | Financial Aid | Alumni Program Information Coursework within the School consists of three years of study including a sequence of 16 seminars (8 in history/8 in theory), a reading quarter and qualifying and comprehensive examinations. These courses are linked to provide complete preparation in the major issues of historical study and contemporary critical practice. Students also enroll in a minimum of three upper level courses outside the School of Drama and must complete an upper level reading course in a foreign language. The sequence of drama seminars reflects the changing needs of the field and the developing research interests of the faculty. Topics in the history sequence have included Drama in the Industrial Age, Communism and Capitalism, and Sources and Antiquity. Seminars in criticism have included Reading, Interpretation and Performance, Mimesis and Theatrical Representation, The Semiotics of Theatre, and Globalization Theory. From the seminars, students are encouraged to develop original research and to present their work at professional conferences, leading to publication in academic journals. The fourth year of the program is devoted to writing a dissertation under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Recent doctoral dissertations have explored semiotics, feminism, medieval traditions, American theatre history, contemporary English and German drama, ethnicity and performance theory.
