Hi! I’m a current musical theatre major at Pace University and I don’t think the core is too much at all. Since it is a liberal arts college, the core is required but really depending on the classes you choose, it isn’t too difficult at all. In fact I think that taking core or general education classes helps my acting. By taking classes in fields such as Art History or African American studies I able to learn more about the world around me and this knowledge helps me become a better actor and just a more well rounded person.
Xoxtinysingerxox, you’re exactly right, a conservatory program doesn’t have the same core requirements. However in the end it’s really about the training. And I can tell you first hand that the training at Pace is amazing! So in conclusion you have to decide which type of program fits you best. It’s all about fit. And I truly believe you’ll end up right where you belong.
Have a great day
