<p>I will just add that the link of “best acting schools” is not a list I would go by because it doesn’t even delineate undergraduate programs from graduate school ones. For example, Yale, American Repertory Theater, and American Conservatory Theater are all Grad school programs, not undergrad. </p>
<p>For undergraduate BFA Acting degrees, I believe that within the US, CMU is extremely well regarded as a so called “top program.”</p>
<p>Agree that CMU is expensive but many who attend the BFA program do not pay the sticker price. My D was offered a scholarship there for $13,600 and I doubt she is unique in that way. It’s still expensive but not $50,0000 for those offered scholarships and aid.</p>
