<p>I want to mention that there also are study abroad drama programs that are operated by independent organizations and that drama students may find appealing. For example, the Eugene ONeill National Theatre Institute sponsors a Moscow Art Theatre semester that is open to undergrad drama students. Also, my S attends a BFA program at one of the universities that is noted in this thread and that sponsors its own London drama program. However, he is spending this semester in Ireland studying drama (of course with an emphasis on Irish playwrights and theater) through an independent study abroad program. He wanted to become familiar with another culture that places a high value on theatre arts and also to get to know students from other schools, including students who are studying courses other than drama. I have to admit that I initially wasnt so sure how things would turn out because he would be attending a program where he didnt know anyone, but it seems to be working out quite well. He has had quite a number of adventures so far and has had the chance to see professional Irish theater productions as well as numerous Fringe Festival events. The students also will be visiting London as a group. So, it is possible to have a valuable study abroad experience with a focus on drama, travel, and culture outside of a program that is operated by the university or its drama department.</p>
