Transfer tips for success

This major requires a departmental audition. The acting requirements in this degree plan take six semesters to complete, allowing you (transferring from another institution or an internal major change) to complete the BFA Acting track in a three-year course of study.  Also, each transfer situation is unique in the number and types of general education credit hours brought in. This tracking sheet is meant to serve as a guide, and it is likely that your general education course equivalencies may vary somewhat.  Please see your advisor early in your first program year and in each following semester to discuss variations of your own degree plan.

All statements in this document concerning requirements, prerequisites, conditions or other matters are for informational purposes and are subject to change. Effective academic advisement is a partnership, with advisees sharing in the responsibility.  Additionally, this degree plan does not list options for department intersession and summer courses. It is recommended that transfers students in the three-year BFA acting track consider summer classes to ease the major course load in the junior and senior years.
