About this program
The University of Iowa is the flagship public research university of Iowa, founded in 1847 and located in Iowa City — a UNESCO City of Literature and one of the most intellectually vibrant college towns in the United States. Iowa enrolls approximately 22,000 undergraduates. The performing arts at Iowa are anchored by three departments within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences — Theatre Arts, Dance, and the School of Music — and by Hancher Auditorium, a state-of-the-art performing arts venue on campus that presents world-class touring performances. The University of Iowa is famous in the arts world for its Writers' Workshop, the nation's oldest MFA in creative writing; this literary culture permeates the theatre programme, which produces 25+ performances per year including a robust new play development season. Iowa's Theatre program reports a 96% job/grad school placement within six months of graduation. The BA in Theatre Arts requires just 36 credit hours, making it one of the most double-major-friendly in the country — 64% of Iowa theatre students major in a second subject. The Dance programme offers both BA and BFA options, operates the UI Dance Company (touring repertory), and presents 10–12 productions per year. The School of Music offers a full range of BM and BME degrees. In-state tuition: approximately $9,000/year; out-of-state: approximately $30,000/year (confirm at uiowa.edu).
