<p>I'm from Canada, and am looking at schools in both Canada and the US.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone out there knew as to whether AMDA or the Randolph Academy in Toronto had a better reputation.</p>
<p>I hope so.....!</p>
<p>Reputation?</p>
<p>AMDA. </p>
<p>Musical Theatre in Canada:</p>
<p>No University degrees but Sheridan, CCPA, and Randolph are good.</p>
<p>In The States: Look at the links to all the schools, there all good.</p>
<p>So AMDA's better? Any particular reason??</p>
<p>Also,</p>
<p>of the three schools that you mentioned in Canada, how would you rank them?</p>
<ol>
<li>Sheridan</li>
<li>CCPA</li>
<li>Randolph<br></li>
</ol>
<p>All Colleges mind you.</p>
<p>AMDA is more well known, I don't know if "better" is exactly true.</p>
<p>There has been a lot of controversy about AMDA's reputation. If you do a forum search of AMDA, you will find a lot of threads discussing this issue.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a college degree, however, AMDA is only a 2 year program. After finishing the 2-year program, apparently students can transfer to The New School (also in NYC) and complete requirements for a degree. I've been told this is possible, but I don't know how many students actually have done it.</p>
<p>My daughter just received a direct mail piece from AMDA that says it is introducing a new BFA degree. Did anyone else get this in the mail? It appears that they will now have a 4 year degree that will include Gen Ed requirements.</p>
<p>Yes we received that also. My D doesn't seem real interested as she wants a college.</p>
<p>We received that mailing, too. It says that their new BFA degree is only available at AMDA Los Angeles. You can do two years in NY and then transfer to LA - or do all four years in L.A. </p>
<p>But yes - lots of differing opinions on AMDA.</p>
<p>There has been a good amount written here on amda. Search it out.</p>
