<p>do you guys know if ucsd has any of those majors?</p>
<p>i'm a transfer applicant and i want to know how's ucsd's film/theater programs?</p>
<p>what are the things they look for transfer applicants?(for ex. gpa, extra curricular act., c. service)</p>
<p>also, to which of the 6 schools should i apply for that particular major?</p>
<p>1.) There is a theatre major</p>
<p>2.) the last available ranking for Theatre and Dance have UCSD at third in the nation after Yale and NYU. I can't find an undergradute ranking of the Theatre programs. </p>
<p>Also, check out [url=<a href="http://mfaactor.com/%5Dwww.mfaactor.com%5B/url">http://mfaactor.com/]www.mfaactor.com[/url</a>]</p>
<p>I can't really tell you anything else outside of that...</p>
<p>3.) also can't say. </p>
<p>4.) Well GE-wise Muir would be good. I'm in ERC and the writing program is killing me. But I also can't imagine myself in any other of the colleges.</p>
<p>They have a Media with Video and Digital Cinema emphasis major. A lot of people in my History of Film class have that major (naturally because it's a required class for it). </p>
<p>UCSD</a> - VisArts -</p>
<p>As A theatre major myself I can tell you that we do have a theatre major, however it is BA program, i.e. one that is unspecific in nature. SO you have to take a bunch of classes from different areas, 2 acting, 2 playwriting, 2 design, 2 practicum (which is sort of a stage crew class), 1 directing, 1 stage management, 1 intro to theatre, and 7 theatre history/theory courses. In addition you then take 4 upper div theatre elective classes (although many student take more) and this is where you take classes that you like to create a speciaization.</p>
<p>The program itself is very good academically and theory wise, as someone already mentioned our graduate program is the third in the nation. Our undergraduate program in terms of actual practical hands-on work is however sometimes lacking because we get put behind the graduate program. The undergraduates put on 1 deparment sponsered production a quarter, where the entire cast, creative team, and crew are usually undergrads (occasionally a creative member may be a grad student if they can't find an undergrad who wants to do it). Then there are chances to be in the grad productions (usually 1-3 a quarter) where you can audition for minor or extra parts or sometimes get slots as an assistant designer or director. There is also about 1 dance show a quarter. There are also several student cabarets a quarter, which are put on entirely by students with a messily forty-dollar budget and are not really department sponsered, however Company 157, an on campus club, give additional funds to these cabarets in exchange for part of their profits if they choose to sponser the cabaret (they don't sponser all of them). You as a theatre student are NOT guarenteed a slot in any of these productions, you must audition for all of them.</p>
<p>Other notes, our association with the La Jolla Playhouse, a tony-award winning regional theatre, provides us with the benefit of on campus professional plays to go see and we share the theatres and the technical crew with LJP. We quite often get broadway tours on campus because of that, Thoroughly Modern Mille, Jersey Boys, and Cry Baby all did their pre-broadway runs at the La Jolla Playhouse, and the national tour of Xanadu begins at the La Jolla Playhouse in December, the director of the show is also the artistic director of the playhouse.</p>
<p>So, that's the scoop on that, if you need any more information feel free to ask or if I was unclear</p>
<p>I would really like to find a program where I can major in both acting and film cinematography. Does UCSD allow this? </p>
<p>Where did you gather information as to UCSD being the 3rd in the nation, I’d like to see the top 10-15 list.</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Erik J</p>
