Master of Fine Arts in Writing
Sarah Lawrence's MFA Writing faculty members are both distinguished writers and devoted mentors. At the heart of our program are bi-weekly, one-on-one student-teacher conferences, in which our faculty engages with your work in depth, accompanying you every step of the way as you explore the possibilities of your art.
Master of Fine Arts in Dance
The MFA Dance program aims to provide students with an inclusive curriculum that exposes them to vital aspects of the art as performers, creators, and scholars. The program seeks to widen students’ definition of dance and performance and engage them in explorations of form and function.
Master of Fine Arts in Theatre
The MFA Theatre program helps students find themselves and their individual aesthetic voice in the art form. Under the guidance of a faculty of artists who are working professionals, the program offers an advanced study of theatre that is multi-disciplinary, collaborative, extensive, and practical.
