<p>Depending on the school a BA program may or may not have an audition for the Theatre major… it even can depend on the concentration within a specific schools… for example James Madison University, where I teach, requires an audition for the Musical Theatre concentration, but not the Theatre Concentration, although students in both concentrations take the same acting classes, and other theatre classes…</p>
<p>In general we have more students in the Theatre Concentration who choose to double major than Musical Theatre (mainly because of the number of credits required… 42 required for Theatre and 58 required for Musical Theatre)… but there are students in both concentrations who choose to double major. Has you S considered a double major at any of the schools you mention above (which, by the way, all have a strong reputation for theatre training… probably in the order in which you listed them above…)?</p>
<p>Just as there are some BA programs that do require an audition, there are some BFA programs whic do not… there is no general rule of thumb for all schools, so as paying3 suggests, it is important to contact each school individually.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
