Graduate Programs in Theatre and Performance UofT

[James Dugan]

Yes, the University of Calgary has an explicit paragraph in the Calendar, as follows: In exceptional circumstances, individuals who do not meet academic requirements but who have significant life achievements may be considered for admission to some graduate programs.

Drama at UofC admitted an applicant to an MFA program who did not have an undergraduate degree. He had been Artistic Director at Theatre Calgary for several years and had a professional track record in Toronto.

I know York University, for example will accept students without undergraduate degrees based on experience, portfolio and audition.
