You want to study theater in college, it’s a long worthwhile road, here’s how to prepare your applications. 

BFA applications start with the Common Application, but then there are many more requirements… essays, artist statement, descriptions of artwork, writing samples, creative samples. Read how you can be prepared to answer all the prompts.

Northeastern University is a college where if you can imagine what you want to study, you can create that path, in fact every student I spoke with was studying a combined major.

We’re always surprised when we talk to people to hear their perspective on careers in the arts. I always start out by asking everyone to look around them. Wherever you are I can guarantee that many artists contributed to creating everything you see, hear and touch.

Creatives are multi-talented and often think outside the box. They’re highly sought after and greatly valued in the job market but often they have to make their own jobs.

I wanted to know from one of our students from 2018 to learn what makes Pace’s School of Performing Arts so special. I learned that it is the small size and individual attention, coupled with the ability to major outside of the arts that makes it one of the most competitive BFA Acting programs in the country. Maybe it’s perfect for you?
