From the website:
BFA in Musical Theater

The bachelor of fine arts in Musical Theater emphasizes rigorous training in the three pillars of musical theater – acting, singing and dancing. The BFA program at Temple University is focused on building well-rounded, versatile ‘triple-threat’ artists who have developed the knowledge, skills and concepts essential to the life of the theater professional.

The students in the BFA in Musical Theater will work alongside MFA students in the graduate program in Musical Theater Collaboration. BFA candidates also benefit from interdisciplinary training in the Boyer College of Music and Dance.

“The BFA in Musical Theater at Temple provides an affordable professional musical theater degree at a world-class university in a vibrant theater and arts community. Philadelphia boasts dozens of professional theater companies of all genres, including top-level musical theater. For a half century, Temple’s Department of Theater has provided excellent theater training, with graduates appearing regularly on the stages of every major regional theater, national tours, and on Broadway.”

  • Peter Reynolds, Head of Musical Theater

I was wondering @persevere how many students are you planning on accepting in the BFA ?

@theaterwork - I don’t believe @persevere can answer that question as they got the info from the website. You would likely need to contact Temple.

I went to a walk in audition for Temple at Unifieds and they said the cap was 16 kids for the MT BFA.

Has anyone heard from unifieds for temple?

Yes, I received an email in February saying that I was not selected as a candidate for their BFA in MT 2016 class. Have you heard @BwayMex?

Still waiting!!!

I got an email today from the theater departament saying I was accepted but that I also had to expect an email from the MT department, I am comfused

That’s really confusing!! So it wasn’t from the MT department?

It was from the theater departament in general it was from Peter Reynolds and it said I should expect another email from the MT department

Congrats girl!!

Were you academically admitted before the artistic acceptance? @BwayMex

Yes

@destiny95 and just after that came the othervemail

Thanks girl!

@BwayMex After the message from Peter Reynolds did you get an email or mail from someone else confirming MT BFA? My daughter received the same first email you mentioned, but nothing after… except for stuff from the school. We’re confused by the correspondence. Thank you!

@SingerDancerMom no nothing yet, still waiting as well

Got a WL letter

@SingerDancerMom I received an email like a day ago that said any message you recieved before this email is an academic acceptance only. They sent out 16 offers on Tuesday.

What!!! @Aiming4Success That’s so confusing and frustrating! She was already academically accepted. That came from the school, both email and snail mail. Then after that she received multiple messages from the department…one saying we’re interested please apply, another with a survey, gauging her interest, THEN the congratulations from the head of theatre with an invite to an accepted theater student reception, and then nothing.

How did you hear that they sent 16 offers? And how did they send them?
