Good to Know

Application Logistics

Apply to USC Upstate through the university application or Common App

After enrollment, declare the Theatre minor through the university academic process; no separate theatre application is published

What's The Process

No Program Admission Audition

The Theatre minor has no separate admission audition, prescreen, interview, or portfolio requirement

Production-casting auditions are participation opportunities after enrollment, not admission gateways
