<p>Temple University in Philly is very reasonably priced as it is a semi-public university. They also offer merit aid which can bring the cost for out of state students down to instate prices. And they have an excellent theater program. It is a BA program but is very much performance based. The MT program requires an audition but the BA program does not until later in the program.

<p>It’s a good one to have on your list as a financial and artistic safety.</p>
