My son has been accepted to UCSD as undeclared, but he has a love of theater and is hoping to perform while at college. This may lead to declaring theater as a major. I have read on CC that UCSD has a great MFA in theater. What about the undergrad experience and how does it compare to Santa Barbara and Davis?
I’ve heard that the quality of the MFA program translates into great exposure for undergrads and connections that will allow the most dedicated students to move up quickly. The La Jolla Playhouse (one of the best regional theaters in the country) is housed on campus, and many opportunities exist for theater majors to participate in productions and seek employment there.
