Pursuing a terminal degree in theatre is both an educational and a career choice. We believe that it is important to let prospective students seeking a terminal degree know as much as possible about the career outcomes of our graduates.
The Graduate Minor in Cinema/Video production allows graduates to explore creative and expressive possibilities of single-camera electronic cinematography and provide them with an understanding of the aesthetic issues involved with cinema/video production. The minor emphasizes the practice of moving image art-making through creative projects.
The Minor in Theatre and Performance allows students in various fields in the arts and humanities to develop a supporting program in the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts that will complement their doctoral study. The study of theatre and performance is vital to many disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. An academic concentration in the discipline of theatre and performance serves a broad range of students, including select students in the artistic fields of dance studies, film studies, and the history and performance of opera. In addition, this concentration serves students who are investigating the heritage of drama and theatre in any of the literature and language fields—from Greek, English, and Spanish to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Likewise, some students who work in the interdisciplinary areas of Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Comparative Studies, Folklore Studies, and African and African American Studies will benefit from a concentration in theatre and performance.
The Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization in Film Studies is a degree enhancement available to students enrolled in post-graduate degree programs in another discipline at Ohio State. The degree enhancement allows the graduate student to develop a secondary expertise in film studies.
