Take a look at the curriculum offered by the schools you are interested in. My D’s Acting BFA has several directing classes, assistant director assignments for upperclassmen, plus the opportunity to direct a senior project, for example. Some schools she looked provided very little directing experience. You can usually get a really good idea of the 4-year layout of available classes, productions and projects for any school you look at.
