Do you have to get a BFA to make it "in the buisness"?

<p>@thespianed - Yes, there are MANY MT opportunities at Northwestern even for kids who aren’t in the MT Certificate program. Everyone can audition for any show on campus (60+ shows per year) and kids are able to register for virtually any course offered on campus, though registration priority is sometimes given to folks in Certificate programs. D will only have been in the MT Certificate for two of her four years on campus, but she’s always been able to have private voice with a professor (versus grad students who teach freshmen in many BFA programs) and has been able to enroll in dance classes every quarter. The quarter system enables you to take a lot of courses versus semester schools, and degree requirements allow for a lot of flexibility to create the specific education that you want. She and her classmates have already had many great professional opportunities as a result of their school connections, even before graduating.</p>

<p>There’s also a current thread on the Theatre major section of CC on the subject of BAs which may point you toward other programs worth considering.</p>
