MFA Theatre at University of Georgia

Entry requirements

Full admission in the M.F.A. program requires an undergraduate degree (B.A. or equivalent). Foreign students whose native language is not English must have an overall score of at least 80 on the TOEFL with at least 20 on speaking and writing. All require evidence of experience and talent in the practice of dramatic art in the form of auditions, portfolios, scripts, etc. In some specialties there is a limit on the total number of M.F.A. students admitted. In case of the performance area, students are admitted only every three years. Normally the student’s undergraduate degree should be in theatre or in an appropriate cognate field with extensive work in theatre. Additional requirements for admission are listed under each graduate degree. Upon notification by the graduate school that a student’s materials are complete, the academic faculty in a student’s indicated area of specialization will review the application. The committee may make one of three recommendations: 1) acceptance, 2) refusal of acceptance, or 3) acceptance with conditions.
