<p>I just did a little google search on this National Association of Schools of Theatre, and found their site (<a href=“http://nast.arts-accredit.org/[/url]”>About NAST - National Association of Schools of Theatre. It appears that the reason the schools your daughter was accepted to have higher numbers than the guidelines Prof Himm. spoke about is because none of the “top” schools (NYU, Carnegie, CCM, BoCo, etc, etc) are apart of this association. The NAST seems to be made up of non-accredited college programs (AAMD, etc) and the big state schools.</p>
