Shakespeare & Performance Academic Policies

Academic policies applicable to MLitt and MFA students are published in this catalog. Other statements of program policies are maintained in the program director’s office and/or published in the S&P Student Handbook. Policies may be amended at any time by the graduate faculty, who determine the date at which amended policies become effective.

Policy on Participation

The plays taught and performed in the program may contain controversial themes and sexual content. Students are expected to engage with all the material and are encouraged to discuss with faculty any concerns they may have. Accepting a role in a program-sponsored performance event constitutes a de facto agreement to perform, direct, and/or dramaturg the play in its entirety.
