<p>UMich also have a BFA Directing program with a great reputation, from what I’ve heard. And while it mightn’t have the same name as UMich or CMU, I’ve heard some wonderful things said about the directing program at Pace. </p>
<p>The one thing that I would suggest is really looking into the degree structure and courses that you would take in each program. Some undergrad directing programs offer numerous opportunities to direct productions, other courses may offer you the chance to direct a production as a capstone project, while others might only offer you the opportunity to assistant direct. I guess it all depends on what is important to you!</p>
