<p>I do not think you will find BA programs without gened requirements. Most BA programs will require you to take about 1/2 of your required courses in general education. There are a lot of terrific BA theatre programs out there. Since academic profile will be the primary admissions gateway at the non-auditioned BA schools. If she is lookin for non-auditioned safeties it will be important for the schools to be in her academic safety range. A safety for one is not a safey for another. Muhlenburg is often mentioned as a non-auditioned safety – but it would not be a safety for all. </p>
<p>non-auditioned BFA programs (like, I believe, Columbia College in Chicago) might be a better fit if she does not want to take much in the way of general education courses.</p>
<p>Even in terms of auditioned BFA programs there is quite a bit of varience in the number of general education courses that students take. NYU being on the high end, CMU being on the low end. </p>
<p>Starting early is great! it will really giver her a chance to look at the different degree requirements at schools to get a sense of what programs may be the best fit. :)</p>
