Graduate Programs in Theatre and Performance UofT

[Yana Meerzon]

Dear Jay,
In Ottawa, we do have a mechanism in place that allows us to recognize peoples' professional experience when it comes to the MFA programs. We go case by case, but in general we can accept someone into our MFA in Directing program with substantial years of professional experience.
I hope this helps,
Yana

Dear Colleagues,

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.

I would appreciate if people could provide the practices of their institutions on this topic.

Thanks.
Jay
