Additionally, theater courses taken at other universities must either be pre-qualified by µÛÍõ»áËù’s Transfer Assurance Guide, or be evaluated by the B.F.A. program head and/or the Assistant Director of the School of Theater.

Commitment to non-discrimination

µÛÍõ»áËù operates on a holistic, selective review and looks for evidence of academic preparation when reviewing applications for admission.
