Whether students have an interest in the performance aspects of theatre or just the study of this art form, they have educational options at the graduate level. Students can hone their talents and enhance their knowledge of their craft through master's programs in acting, directing, playwriting, scoring, production and musical theatre. If students are more interested in the history, literature and criticism of the dramatic arts, they can enroll in programs that focus on theatre and drama studies. At the doctoral level, the study of theatrical literature can lead to careers as professors, researchers or writers.
