So I both got excepted to the theatre arts school at both universities. I want to go for lighting design. I’ve researched that both programs are amazing but obviously have there down sides. I’m really having a tough time in deciding where to go because I know both are great. Hope you can help!
What school is more affordable for you?
They are both state schools, similar costs. Which has a better lighting program (we are wondering also)?
Things I do when trying to compare two programs:
Go to the department page and see how many professors there are in each for your subprogram.
What is the background of the professors? Have they done the kind of things you want to do?
How many classes are there in your area ( lighting design)?
Also try to find out if underclassmen get opportunities to actually do lighting designs in plays.
How easy it is to get into the classes you want?
Do graduates in these programs get jobs?
Also ask in this subforum:
