Does anyone have info on the number of students who audition for the Guthrie acting BFA? Also, how is the BA program at Minnesota? Is it similar to the USC program where many talented kids are offered the BA option who didn’t get accepted to the BFA program and where the number of BA students is capped? The USC BA option is a very strong program. Is Minnesota also strong? Does Minnesota limit the number of students in the BA program or is the major open to anyone that gets in to the university? Thanks. I know I’m asking for a lot of info.
I believe the BA is open to anyone in the university. My D had a good friend who LOVED the BFA program (and what’s not to love- it’s awesome) but was not accepted (though she did get a couple other BFA offers). She did the BA for a year- which she did NOT care for, but was fortunate enough to be accepted into the Guthrie program at the end of her freshman year.
