| I found another school with what’s supposed to be a really good theatre department that offers full scholarships based purely on merit. The University of Northern Illinois. This includes tuition, room and board, fees, and a small book stipend. Talk about a full ride … They don’t discriminate against arts majors in awarding them, either! I somehow missed this when I was researching it last summer. I asked about Northern Illinois in Part 1 of this thread and Valerie said the BFA Acting program is highly regarded with lots of graduates working in Chicago regional theatre, but the university as a whole is a safety. They do teach five levels of Russian Language, the Director of the School has worked translating Russian plays into English, and they offer a summer at the Moscow Art Theatre School, so I’d be able to sate my curiosity in that direction once I got the few GEs out of the way that my AP wouldn’t cover. Does anybody who is reading now know anything more about this school? Looks like I have another application to fill out and some more LJ snooping to do! |
