The Master of Arts in Theatre program at Villanova University offers a distinct fusion of inspiring academic work and practical production experience. Our flexible, multi-faceted degree program prepares students from a variety of disciplines to succeed on stage, behind-the-scenes and in the classroom. The comprehensive MA can be completed in two years as a full-time student. Funding opportunities in the form of scholarships and assistantships are available in the areas of academic research, technical theatre and administration. Build your skills in costumes, set, lighting, props, and marketing as you develop professionally in our shops and offices. 

As a student, you will have the opportunity to expand your mind through courses covering topics such as dramaturgy, script analysis, directing, acting, playwriting and more. You will also join a producing theatre company that collaborates and performs in the brand-new, state-of-the-art John and Joan Mullen Center for the Performing Arts. Our seasons feature a broad theatrical repertoire showcasing classics, contemporary plays, musicals and new works still in development. At Villanova, you’ll experience it all. Two hundred and sixty acres of lush greenery and beautiful collegiate architecture, just steps from Pennsylvania’s historic Main Line and minutes from the bustling theatre city of Philadelphia.

Graduate Assistantships - Graduate Assistants are considered “full-time” or “half-time,” as reflected by the stipend awarded and the time commitment required. Full assistantships come with a stipend of $19,830 per academic year and require 300 hours/semester; half assistantships come with a stipend of $9,915 per academic year and require 200 hours/semester (23-24 rates). In addition, both provide full tuition remission.

Tuition Scholarships - Tuition Scholarships provide full tuition remission, and 100 hours of work are required per semester. Multiple tuition scholarships are available and cover a wide range of opportunities and experiences ranging from research to production.
