Departmental Funding for Professional Development

The Department of Theatre Arts recognizes the importance of encouraging and supporting graduate students in scholarly and professional development activities. We offer funding for such activities from our discretionary funds. Applications should be submitted to the department head, who will consult the faculty about the appropriateness of the proposed activity.
