Artsmom,
I think there is probably less discussion of the LACs and universities with good BA Drama programs because most have one and there are just sooooooo many. Doctorjohn has recommended The Directory of Theatre Training Programs, 9th ed. as a way of looking at schools beyond just the recruiting stuff on their websites. You might also want to look at The Performing Arts Major’s College Guide (easily found at any big chain bookstore) though it is an old book and, as Kellster just found with Emory, its information may well be out of date. While I’m personally going to pursue a BFA, I gave my best guess on a method for evaluating BA programs on Part 7 of this thread at Post #s 253 and 254. Let’s see … Of the schools you’ve mentioned, The Performing Arts Major’s Guide lists Sarah Lawrence, Kenyon, Skidmore, and Lawrence as “Other Noteworthy Undergraduate Programs.” I didn't realize Bard had a theatre program, but I just checked and yes indeed they do! I don't know anything about it, but the creative writers at my old school really love Bard. Hope this helps!
