I wholehearted agree that a visit to NYC area schools for theater or musical theater should include Wagner College.

I feel it is not entirely accurate to call their theater DEPARTMENT ranked #1 by Princeton Review. To clarify, these particular rankings are based on what students attending the schools tell the PR about their colleges and their experiences at them via a student survey. The Best College Theater Ranking List is based on students’ answers to the survey question: “How do you rate your college’s theater PRODUCTIONS?” So, this ranking is not really about the program, per se, but about what students on campus (not just students in the program) think about the quality of theater shows on their campus. Certainly, this is worth noting! But this is not the same as “best college theater program” (even if there is such a thing, and there truly is not).
