<p>Ask Minn to be sure, but the BA in Theatre has always been open to any student there. We have a good friend who had an incredible experience and was thrilled with the dept. She also took advantage of lots of opportunities to broaden her education, study abroad, etc.</p>
<p>That was my D’s safety as well, and she would have been thrilled to go there. It is a school where even though there is a BFA conservatory, the BA is strong, separate and very high quality. That’s not always true - I would check how things are at Steven’s Point, among the different majors. From a quick look at their website, I wonder if their BA curriculum is as performance-focused as you might like (as compared with the Minn BA). I get a “BA students are in the background doing the non-performance-oriented stuff” vibe. Ask them about casting and what a projected 4-year experience might look like - really, that’s a good thing to do with any school you are considering, especially when there are both BAs and BFAs (and MFAs) in the department.</p>
