Hi JeffB,

I really can’t tell you a lot about the programs, but I have some information, so I will do my best.

Coming in as an acting major, after your first year, you will have the opportunity to audition for the MT Minor. To be eligible for an MT Minor, you must be majoring in Acting, Voice or Dance. As an MT Minor, you would get classes with teachers who teach the MTs in the department, but the classes would not quite be structured the same. I know there is a voice class taught by Mary Ellen Grant-Kennedy, and that you have to take a certain amount of movement credits, but I can’t remember the exact load.

Are you considering transferring from the School of Theater Arts into the Writing for Film & TV Program? There is really no way to double major with Acting or MT and anything else. There is a creative writing minor that has been put into place, but it’s new this year and I can’t tell you very much about it.

Sorry for the vagueness. :)
