ADMISSIONS

Students interested in majoring in acting are not required to audition for entrance into our B.A. program. They should contact the Theatre department to inform us of their interest so that they can be advised and space will be made available for them in required theatre courses. All actors enter the B.A. program. In their second semester, those who are interested may apply to the department to enter the B.F.A. in Acting program, or they may simply select the new B.A. in Theatre Studies.
