<p>My state is also a part of WUE so I’ve looked at it before. Getting a school and program approved through WUE isn’t always simple. Not all public schools in any particular state participate and those that do sometimes limit which programs they open up to out of state through WUE. For example, I don’t see any schools from California on the WUE list that have BFA MT programs. (I admit, I don’t know all of the California schools perfectly but quick look, I don’t see any with programs I have heard about.) </p>
<p>I remember looking at UNC (U of Northern Colorado) which does have a well regarded BA in Musical Theatre that plenty of students from my state attend. I sort of remember that WUE didn’t work for that program at least not from Washington State. That might be because Washington State did have a school that is part of WUE (Central Washington University) which offers a BFA in MT. Maybe I’m not remembering it entirely correctly but in any event, you aren’t looking at UNC through WUE because you already live in Colorado. My point is be sure to look at which schools participate in WUE and whether or not the program you want is an eligible program because sometimes, it’s very specific about what’s in and what’s out.</p>
<p>@endlesswonder, if you are already from Colorado, why aren’t you thinking about UNC? Even paying out of state for us to attend UNC (with automatic academic scholarships which are based on your stats and you can see what that is right on the website), it was a financial bargain and by far the cheapest school my daughter was accepted at. And we are not from Colorado and it didn’t look like WUE would work for that program. </p>
<p>I think @shaun0203 may be giving you a good tip about U of Utah if you want to go out of state. It is a WUE member though I don’t know if it is program limited but it looks like after year 1, you are instate. That’s kind of amazing.</p>
