FAQ
Academic Questions
We strongly suggest the BA program for students wanting to pursue a double-major. Due to the high number of required hours in the BFA degree plans, it is extremely difficult to meet all requirements within four years. Based on prior experience, we believe the BA program offers flexibility and broad theatrical training for students to thrive while completing a double-major.
Yes, students have access to a variety of internship opportunities. Please view our Internships page for details on opportunities and placement.
Admission Questions
Yes, but submit only one Acceptd profile for your primary interest. List any secondary interests in your application and discuss them during your audition.
If you're interested in Musical Theatre, you must apply directly to that program to
secure an audition— even if it’s a secondary interest. As the most competitive BFA
program, we strongly recommend listing a secondary emphasis when auditioning.
Please note: indicating Musical Theatre as a secondary interest on another emphasis
application does NOT qualify you for a Musical Theatre audition.
The acceptance process is rolling. Everyone will receive a “yes” or “no” response before the end of March.
