Harvard University's graduate theatre programme, which is housed within the critically acclaimed American Repertory Theater, will suspend admissions for the next three years.
The move was announced in a Friday email from the ART Institute.
In January, the school suspended admissions for one year after the program received a "failing" grade from the US Department of Education for saddling graduates with an average of USD 78,000 in debt.
Unlike other graduate-level drama programs, the ART Institute does not offer a master of fine arts degree. Graduates are awarded a master of liberal arts degree in extension studies through the Harvard Extension School.
The ART Institute has incubated productions for multiple recent Broadway hits, including the Tony Award-winning 2013 revival of "Pippin" and the currently running musical "Waitress.
