<p>How hard or easy it to get into their program?</p>
<p>It's a very small program that only takes a few students into its BFA program each year. Our daughter is a sophomore at UF and is in the BA Theatre program and is double majoring. She's just landed parts in the two musicals the school is putting on this academic year and was able to spend six weeks this summer at CAP 21's summer program. Since she's a Florida native and qualified for Bright Futures, six weeks at CAP 21 was doable and she found it a very good trade-off for not being able to attend a BFA program. Overall, UF is a great school with increasingly higher academic standards. I'd suggest exploring UF if you can qualify academically as you will find numerous performing opportunities in the area...our daughter was in shows at the community theatres in both Gainesville and Ocala last year so she did not lack from on-stage experience and was at the same time getting a great liberal arts education.</p>
