The MFA in Theatre at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a terminal professional graduate degree providing advanced training in theatrical performance and production. The program follows a flexible, ensemble-based curriculum with individual mentorship, daily four-hour sessions, and opportunities for performance, teaching, and professional development. Students may specialize in areas such as acting, design, technology, and management. The program emphasizes risk-taking, craft development, and exposure to a wide range of dramatic literature and performance techniques. Admission is highly competitive, with each concentration (such as Acting) admitting students every three years for cohort-based learning. Performance and teaching opportunities are integral to the experience, culminating in showcases and public productions. 来源： https://catalog.illinois.edu/graduate/faa/theatre-mfa/acting/
