Good to Know

Complete university admission first.

The BFA Acting review is an internal degree-track gateway rather than a direct first-year application.

Transfer Pathway

Transfer students may seek BFA Acting acceptance through a spring audition before their first Westminster semester; a scholarship audition may double as the degree-track review.

What's The Process

All theatre majors begin in BA Theatre.

Continuing students audition for the BFA Acting emphasis in fall of sophomore year.

Transfer students may audition in spring before their first semester; a theatre-scholarship audition can also serve as the BFA review.

Scholarship Info

A talent-based theatre scholarship is available to incoming students.

The scholarship audition does not itself place a first-year student into the BFA.
