| Frenchlaw: I was asking myself the same question. The web material is vague on this point, but if you look at the BA curriculum, it looks like it is distinctly different. Whether faculty teach in both programs is an interesting question. I am very familiar with the U. (another Department). It is a huge (makes the SUNY schools look small), bureaucratic institution, and when I was there its focus was research and not teaching. Graduate students staff too many undergrad classes, as the U's reputation lies in its graduate programs. Perhaps its strategic focus has changed since I was there. I am not critical of the U. I would be pleased if my S had a BA degree from the 'U'. The Guthrie program is a small oasis within an overwhelming organization (my opinion). If you are looking at Big Ten BA Theater programs, you might also want to check out Iowa and Indiana (if college town type) Minneapolis is great. |
