<p>“Master’s theatre education/directing. Is the difference between MA and MFA as been as BFA vs. BA?”</p>
<p>I am not sure I completely understand your question, BUT if the question is if the difference between an MA and an MFA is the same as the difference between an BA and a BFA… not really.</p>
<p>An MFA is a “terminal degree” for college teaching. Meaning, that you can be hired into a full-time tenure track college position with this degree. It is generally a very hands on practical degree. An MA is often the first step in coursework towards earning a Phd… although you do not need to earn a Phd after an MA… a Phd is a “terminal degree” for college teaching. An MA is not. MA/ Phds tend to be more academically focused.</p>
