Good to Know

Application Logistics

Apply to WVWC through the free school application or Common App; the live application includes Fall 2027 entry

Use the Creative Arts audition form to schedule or submit the optional scholarship audition

Important Notes

The admissions page does not publish a separate Musical Theatre admission audition requirement

WVWC is currently accepting Creative Arts auditions, but its scholarship form still shows outdated graduation-year choices and an unversioned December 2 option; confirm current scheduling with Admissions or Julian Marshall at marshall.j@wvwc.edu

Transfer Pathway

Transfer students may enter with advanced standing, and an eligible associate degree can satisfy WVWC's general-education requirements; published articulation agreements support additional course planning. BA Musical Theatre requirements, ensemble participation, performance obligations, and departmental portfolio reviews still must be completed.
