Good to Know

Application Logistics

Apply through CSN's school-wide admissions process as a degree-seeking student; there is no separate theatre application or prescreen portal.

CSN accepts applications year-round under an open-enrollment policy.

New students pay a one-time $20 application fee, with deferral available until tuition is due for eligible applicants.

Eligibility

The AA Theatre degree is intended for transfer, and CSN specifically directs students to meet with advising plus the UNLV or UNR transfer program.

Transfer Pathway

This is a transfer pathway degree built to transfer into a four-year program. Confirm which universities it articulates to, and which credits carry over, before you enroll.

What's The Process

Audition Process

No audition, prescreen, or interview is required for admission to CSN's AA Theatre program.

Students enter through CSN's open-enrollment admissions process and then work with advising to build a theatre course plan.

Production participation happens through coursework and department shows after enrollment.
