<p>I posted this on the Freshman experience thread as requested but also thought I would post it on here for east reference: This is a general look at it and may not be exact based on each individual student.</p>
<p>Marymount Manhattan’s set up is a little different than other schools because it is not a conservatory but a liberal arts college. The schedule I am setting up is year by year for the major. I am including BA Theatre Performance with MT and BFA Acting with MT so you can see the differences which are not overly different. This is a tentative schedule, but the various theatre core classes can be taken in many different forms, but these tend to be the most common from what I have heard.</p>
<p>The days of classes change each year and I do not have the schedules in front of me to actually give you the exact day.</p>
<p>The arrow —> just means that this would be the same options to the spring semester generally</p>

<p>Yes, you are not required to have 4 years of acting as a BA. Don’t fret, there are plenty of acting electives available that you can take based on your individual preference. They include: Performing Shakespeare, Auditions (not MT), Beyond Naturalism, Viewpoints and more. BAs have the opportunity to double major in Theatre Performance and another concentration. Usually they stay within the Theatre major (Stage Management/Production, Directing, Design) but some venture out to Comm Arts and sometimes Business, but it can often be tough. There is also a minor in Arts Management and a new minor they just introduced but I can’t think of it off of the top of my head.</p>
