Performance Studies Graduate Certificate
Based in the Roski School of Art and Design with affiliated faculty across USC, the Performance Studies graduate certificate provides a deep and broad education in performance studies, with a focus on embodiment, materiality, and visuality in time-based live and photographic media. We study works across modes, from live theater, dance, and performance art to social media self imaging, with attention to theories of performance, identity, and power from across the humanities and arts.
The PSGC prepares MA, MFA, and PhD students for future careers and work in fields relating to performance studies.
