Important Notice for Acting and Musical Theatre students: After completing all lower division prerequisites (or the transfer equivalent*) with the required grade minimums ("C" or better in THTR 200; "B-" or better in THTR 140, 141A/B and 240A/B), all students electing either BFA concentration (Acting or Musical Theatre) must audition (jury) for formal admission to the junior level of study. Please see the appropriate "Areas of Study" concentration-specific pages for requirements, program structure/timing, and important information for transfer students.
*If you have received an A.A. in theatre, this does not automatically qualify you for a BFA program. There are specific courses and skills required, and your transfer college might not offer those courses and/or skills. assist.org provides general education, (not degree-specific, requirements). All prerequisites must be met. For transfer equivalency evaluation, please contact the theatre department office.
