<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to gather information from other university theatre departments offering MFA's regarding any policy or precedent for admitting students into MFA programs without an undergraduate degree but a vast wealth of professional experience and creative
activity. I know York University, for example will accept students without undergraduate degrees based on experience, portfolio and audition. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would appreciate if people could provide the practices of their institutions on this topic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
<div>Jay</div>
