PLEASE READ THIS PAGE AND APPLICATION PAGE (link below) CAREFULLY!

ADMISSION AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Admission to the program is highly competitive and is based on an application and audition process. Not every applicant will receive an audition. Because students perform with the professional company in the first year of training, the program most strongly considers those candidates whose previous training and experience suggest they are adequately prepared for advanced classical theatre training. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited and approved institution. International students are welcome to apply to the MFA program; however they can not rely on financial assistance or awards from USD and must provide for financial support from non-university sources.
