MFA Theater Arts

In 1996, The Cleveland Play House (CPH) and Case Western Reserve University joined forces to create a new Master of Fine Arts program in acting. Students begin their involvement with the Play House in their first semester, and their level of involvement steadily increases until, in the third year, they become professional interns at CPH.The MFA in acting is a terminal professional degree. Candidacy for the program requires an undergraduate degree with (ideally) a major in theater, equivalent training and experience, or demonstrable potential for work at the MFA level.
