<p>I am curious to learn where ONU falls on the unofficial list of top schools for BFA MT. Is it more similar in strength and reputation of program to Rider, Webster, Otterbein, or Pace?</p>
<p>Pace has the beauty of being in NYC. I think ONU is a wonderful program. The classes are smaller than Rider and it has been a BFA program for a long time, with wonderful facilities. They also give scholarships. </p>
<p>The schools you listed were “reach” schools for my D - Ohio Northern was a solid “fit / safety” according to her coach. I don’t know about Rider - D decided against Rider because it seemed like more of a commuter school + new program. </p>
<p>It could be that students don’t want to go to ONU because of it’s remote location - so it’s less competitive - rather than because of the quality of the program? I don’t know… we’re trying to decide between ONU and CCPA. I wish I could move ONU to civilization… lol. </p>
