The Basics About a Graduate Degree in Fine and Performing Arts

There are 6 main streams that students can pursue in the graduate fine and performing arts field - dance, design, film, music, theatre and visual arts - which often get summarized as, “the fine and performing arts". Graduate programs in the arts offer the option of taking a degree focused on creative work (Master of Fine Arts degrees, for instance) or on more academic work (the thesis-based Master of Arts, for example).

Graduate Arts Degree Options
Master of Arts - appropriate for those who want to develop advanced knowledge in one area of the arts
PhD in the Arts - appropriate for those who want to earn an advanced degree in the arts with a view to pursuing a research or teaching career
Graduate Arts Diplomas/Certificates - supplements an already established area of expertise in the arts or adds value to a previously earned Bachelor's or graduate degree in a different, but related discipline. Is designed to provide students with a specialized knowledge that is less extensive than a Master's or PhD in the arts
