Hello, I am a junior in high school and I am definitely looking to apply to colleges that have a large musical theatre program. I frankly do not know where to start my research on programs though. What should I look for?
1st thing- you might want to post on the musical theater forum, rather than the drama forum- though many of the same people hang out on both.
2nd thing- do you mean “large” as in size or as in “famous”. They may or may not be the same thing. Are you looking for a BA or a BFA? Do you have areas of the country where you would prefer? Public or private school? There are lots of different programs out there- the more you know about what you like/don’t like, the easier it is to create a good list
@Jlnovy18 , go to the Musical Theater forum, which is here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/ There is a huge list of schools at the top, as well as threads on how to find the right program for you (questions to ask yourself what criteria you want, to help narrow down the list), plus a thread that lists all the programs by state and by category (BFA, BA, auditioned, non-auditioned, etc.)
