First Year

Eligibility
Education at an acting conservatory is specialized. Serious, responsible and highly motivated applicants are sought for admission. All entering students must have received a high school diploma or have completed a GED program. A grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 is expected.

Admission to the Academy is selective. Each candidate is evaluated individually; consideration is based on dramatic ability or potential, academic qualifications and readiness, in terms of maturity and motivation, to benefit from the program. Candidates may pursue admission into the First Year class in the Fall or Winter Term. The courses in Fall and Winter are identical in curriculum and format. Students from both groups, if invited to return, join the same Second Year class the following fall.

Second Year

Admission to the Second Year is by invitation. After the conclusion of the First Year, invitations are extended to those students considered by the faculty and administration ready for the advanced work of the Second Year.
