SCHOOL OF THEATER ARTS

The history of the School of Theatre Arts begins with the initial class of tertiary-educated theatre directors, located next to the National University of Mongolia between1957-1961. The period between 1959 and 1990 was the period when a broad range of works were implemented, such as: the opening of a theatre and film actor’s class next to the National institute of Teachers;  initiating a tertiary training program; preparing the necessary faculty human resources; and establishing a professional department.  

In 1990, when MNUAC was established, the Department was expanded to become the Faculty of Theatre Arts. Under MNUAC’s administration, the faculty was restructured in 2010-2012 as School of Stage and Theatre Arts, restructured again in 2013 as the School of Theatre and Film Arts, and then finally becoming the School of Theatre Arts in 2014. Currently, the School trains graduate, postgraduate and doctorate students in  a wide range of programs including: theArt of Acting (film, drama, and musical theater acting); Directing Arts (directing plays); Culture Studies (theatre andfilm researcher and critic); Literature Studies (screen-play writer), Painting (stage and screen painter) and Theatre Technology.
