The David Geffen School of Drama at Yale is Yale University's professional school for drama, located in New Haven, Connecticut. Its origins date to 1924 when Yale established a Department of Drama within the School of Fine Arts, with the first class admitted in 1925 and the first Master of Fine Arts in Drama conferred in 1931. In 1955, by vote of the Yale Corporation, the department was organized as a separate professional school, Yale School of Drama, offering the Master of Fine Arts, Doctor of Fine Arts, and a Certificate in Drama. The school operates within the performing arts industry as part of Yale University and serves graduate and certificate students pursuing drama education. It maintains a mid-sized staff and faculty to support its programs.
