I applied to four cal states: CSUN, CSUF, CSULB, and SFSU. I was looking at some private schools, but I think they are too much and I don’t want to take out high loans. I know cal state fullerton has a really good program, but I was just curious about how well the other cal states compare to. I am looking for something that has an acting or performance emphasis, but I also want to learn producing. Plus I am looking to get into some student films as well.
Check out Cal Poly Pomona…it has an acting tract…
CSUF is highly impacted as are many of the other state schools and we were told on our tour that graduating in 4 years was virtually impossibly. Also CSUF has a cut program so be careful in that area.
CSUN has excellent, well-connected theatre department with lots of working alumni, MT minor in coordination with music dept and top-drawer film school getting lots of national press.
And CSUN has beautiful new Valley Performing Arts Center which is now being used for several student productions, not just as a touring house. It is a stunning facility.
