At PPU, all BFA students now showcase. Not that a showcase should be a determining factor, IMHO. Both are good, quality programs. If you haven’t yet, you should try to visit PPU. It’s very different from OCU in that it’s in the heart of a city. It really depends on which atmosphere you prefer. Ironically, both those schools were on my daughter’s final short list as well. She would up at PPU and is very happy there.
