<p>Please be aware, however, that the NAST (mentioned in the post above) does not include all theater or musical theater colleges, including some of the most renown ones (examples: CMU, UMich, NYU, CCM, Syrcause…). While the list may be useful, it just includes programs that belong to that association. </p>
<p>The “Big List” of Musical Theater College programs here on College Confidential lists all schools that offer musical theater programs and in my opinion, would be a better list to use or else one would be eliminating some of the best MT programs in the country if limited to the list of programs belonging to NAST. </p>
