UM does NOT cost that much per semester! And particularly not to someone commuting from home.

The out of state colleges all offer the program I want, Theatrical Directing, while the in state schools only offer Stage Management programs where I would have to transfer to another school after 2 years to pursue my intended career.

I doubt that you’d need the “perfect name” for a major in order to get the education and experience you’d need. We see this all the time. Kids thinking that their school must have their obscured-name major when really a number of other majors would work as well.
