<p>Does Northwestern have a decent music theater program?</p>
<p>Doremicna—I am a Mom of a theater student—You probably already know that NU offers a BA and not a BFA. The program is not a conservatory experience. Typically theater majors will audition in May of their freshman year for the musical theater certificate program. More info: [Music</a> Theatre Certificate - About the Program, School of Communication, Northwestern University](<a href=“http://communication.northwestern.edu/programs/certificate_music_theatre/]Music”>http://communication.northwestern.edu/programs/certificate_music_theatre/)
As I understand it—NU theater dept accepts 50 female/50male students. The musical theater certificate program accepts 30.
Some consider the theater program at NU as one of the top five(?) in the USA.
I hope this helps you in your decision making-G’Luck!</p>
