| Description: | The Department offers students access to a range of professional facilities during their studies including performance, workshop, rehearsal and classroom space, libraries, graduate student offices, and access to computers and seminar rooms. Students also have access to the University's Timms Centre for the Arts–a fully equipped, 289-seat-proscenium theatre with a black box second playing space, props shop, production offices, wardrobe, dressing rooms and a green room. The Department of Drama is housed within the University's Fine Arts Building, which offers students the opportunity to study and work from a media room, thrust stage, movement studio, sound studios and design studios.
The aim of the MFA programs is to train candidates to a level of competency sufficient to enter the profession. The MA program, essentially research oriented, also offers training in dramaturgy as one of the means by which candidates may be actively involved in the creative pursuits of the Department, and also prepares for further PhD studies.
