Anyone have current students (or know current students) at these schools? I was surprised there isn't a thread for Nebraska Wesleyan at the top. I have some kids with acceptances and they want to learn more about the programs. Thanks!

LIU Post Decisions!!
Hi guys!! I just wanted to clarify... people are starting to get their LIU Post decisions today and mine said acceptance into the Theatre Arts BFA and goes on to talk about their musical theatre program and reputation. I just wanted to be sure since it doesn't explicitly say MT concentration that it is for MT? I only applied to MT! Thanks!

Big List of MT Colleges: By State
MODERATOR NOTE: FOR THE MOST UPDATED LIST, PLEASE SEE POST #2 WHICH IS MORE COMPLETE THAN POST #1'S LIST.
Here is the big list of schools that offer a musical theater degree. This list was formerly part of a FAQ MT college site that a now CC "alum", Shauna, had compiled as a Geocities site that CC posted a link to at the top of our MT Forum. As the Geocities site is no longer available and is discontinued by Yahoo, CC is posting this valuable resource of the list of MT Colleges that was formerly compiled.
As Shauna wrote on her original Geocities site, this list was made in large part by Dancersmom and doctorjohn, two CC members, and although pretty much everyone on the board has contributed at some point, these two did the vast majority of the work. (Thanks also to ILMomsk, Lauren Z., Nick, klass, Lexasmom, Mary Anne, and MusThCC for updates.) The list begins with colleges that offer undergraduate musical theater degrees. They are organized alphabetically by state. Following the name of the school in parentheses is the type of degree they offer, and, in some cases, the number of students the school offers admission to.
Colleges that offer graduate degrees are at the bottom of the page.
If you know of any colleges that offer a musical theater degree that are not listed on this page, please let us know.
KEY:
A + next to a school indicates that they are especially selective (that they admit only a small number of applicants).
A ~ next to a school indicates that they are non-audition (that they do not require an audition to major in musical theater). Schools without this mark do require an audition.

Pamdemic decision BFA for MT at Ohio U vs. LIU vs. gap year
I am trying to help my D choose between OH and LIU or gap year to apply to more schools in advance. These were walkins at unifieds before applying. Has anyone visited both campuses or have students attending either OU or LIU who can tell me the pros/cons about their campuses programs and opportunities to perform or allowed to audition for equity or community theater? Also if you have a student attending how are the MT online classes going, any talk about the fall semester?
Is anyone considering a gap year - with all the community shows being canceled in the next few months i'm worried they won't start up again during the school year. The larger theaters also seemed to have had auditions already for their 2020-2021 season. How do you get an agent to help find opportunities to audition?

Major and minor help
I am a sophomore in high school and I’ve been thinking about college lately. I’ve always wanted to do something with musical theatre and for a few months now, I’ve been thinking of majoring in social work and minoring in musical theatre and after college, I would take about a year or two to focus on theatre but now that I think about it, musical theatre is my passion and honestly the only thing that I really love to do and I know I won’t get the full training experience if I minor in MT. So I’m thinking of majoring in musical theatre and minoring in social work or psychology. But I’m afraid that if I fail in theatre then I won’t even get a job in social work since it’s only a minor. Does anyone have any tips or information that I can use?
