I'm not knowledgeable enough about the Forum to accomplish this myself but I believe CoachC's post about how to evaluate programs belongs in a thread with that subject as a topic---it's a very helpful guide and won't be seen by enough readers within this thread on West Coast programs. It might even be a helpful addition to the "Big List" page
http://www.geocities.com/musicalthea...s/biglist.html, similar to the statement on the differences between BA and BFA programs. If anyone can help accomplish this, I would recommend it!
