About the program

Welcome to the home of the Theatre and Dance Department at Tulane University. Our beautiful facilities are located in colorful New Orleans at Tulane University’s uptown campus. Our studios and offices are housed in the Elleonora P. McWilliams building and Dixon Annex. We are committed to making relevant, diverse, and dynamic art and shaping young talents to do the same. We are proud to be part of the School of Liberal Arts at Tulane! The Theatre and Dance Department at Tulane University has a rich and storied history. From the school’s establishment in 1886, the arts have been every present with drama clubs and student organizations paving the way for the eventual creation of a full department in 1937.

Acceptance rate

Tulane University's Department of Theatre and Dance admission is highly selective, with the MFA Design program admitting only a small number of candidates every other year, ensuring each student has considerable production experience and faculty contact.
