<p>Hey everyone! I am currently nearly 16 and it has always been my dream to study in the USA. I am British and want to have a career involved in the theatre - behind the scenes preferably although I do perform, OR in the media. What are the best unis in the USA who deal with these? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>NYU's Tisch is very famous for the performing arts but I do not know if it's more specialised in behind the scenes or actual acting. For the cinema world USC seems to be quite famous. I believe it's mainly behind the scenes stuff and film theory.</p>
<p>The Juiliard school is quite well regarded in the arts and has a drama program. Once again I am not sure what the division between acting and behind the scenes is.</p>
<p>Hey thank you for your speedy reply! I still need lots of info so fellow posters please reply!</p>
<p>Emerson College in Boston and Boston University.</p>
<p>Also do not forget that where the uni is located could influence the quality and quantity of internships you could do while at university. If you go to one in the New York area there will be more oportunities in your field than say a university in Montana. That also goes for getting a job after you finish.</p>
<p>Northwestern University (outside Chicago) has an amazing theater program (known for having produced a number of Broadway stars) as well as an excellent radio/television/film department - in addition it has the #1 journalism school in the country (in case you were interested in broadcast journalism).</p>
<p>Thank you! I am intereasted in travel and entertainment journalism.</p>
