The next MFA directing candidate will begin study in Fall 2025, with selection beginning in Spring 2025. The MFA in Design and Production accepts a limited number of candidates each year. Selection for these programs is based on production books, portfolios and interviews. Design and Production faculty also attend the URTA National Unified Auditions and Interviews.

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.
