So, I graduated with a B.A. in Musical Theatre from UCLA. It's a great program if you aren't married to the idea of the traditional conservatory approach. There really isn't a fair comparason between UCLA and UCI. The UCLA faculty has about 5 or 8 tony nominations between the lot, and most all of them work with both the grads and undergrads. If you want classical dance, go to UCI, but for either straight acting or musical theatre, UCLA is the best program on the west coast. I've taken classes at Emerson College, NYU CAP 21, The Boston Conservatory, Ithaca College and others. Most of the programs are very similar with subtle differences separating them. Geographical location and campus life can be as determinate a factor as the program curriculum. Hope my feedback helps. Goodluck.
