<p>You did not indicate if you’re looking at MT or Acting programs. There are several threads here on CC that offer a breakdown of BFA/BA programs. Wagner College, Staten Island, NY and James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA are both acceptance by audition BA MT programs. Muhlenberg College offers a non-auditioned BA in Theater, with an optional audition for a Theatre Dept scholarship. Northwestern University in IL is another non-audition based BA program, but is extremely difficult to get into academically. Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ offers an acceptance by audition BA in Theater, and Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY has BA in Theater, in which you can choose to audition into their BFA program at the end of your first year. You can check under Theater Major and Musical Theater Major categories here on CC for complete lists of college programs. </p>
<p>It is always advisable to include both audition and non-audition programs on your list for college Theater. The increase in students interested in pursuing these majors has grown tremendously the last few years, and the competition is very tough. Good luck with compiling your list and with your applications/auditions.</p>
