East Carolina University – Greenville, NC
Jayme Host, Program Director | Email
At ECU, we believe in practical experience. Studio/class work is vital to the process of learning, but being in on the construction, rehearsal, and performance of a production is the best way to learn the craft. We offer BFAs in all areas of theatre. Freshmen are encouraged to audition for MainStage productions, as it replicates real world competition for roles and technical positions. We are committed to producing quality productions and students are treated as young professionals.
Meredith College – Raleigh, NC
Steven Roten, Program Coordinator | Email
Imagine. Create. Succeed. That is what our theatre program encourages each student to accomplish during their four years at Meredith. We sharpen each woman’s performance, design and technical skills while they earn a strong liberal arts degree from an institution that is consistently ranked both a top regional and national college. Working with guest artists, creating a strong ensemble, and learning from working professional faculty members are all reasons why students choose Meredith!

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) is a top-ranked arts conservatory and America’s first state-supported arts school. The nation’s only public university of five arts disciplines on one campus, UNCSA prepares emerging artists for careers in dance, design and production, drama, filmmaking, and music at the undergraduate through post-graduate levels, as well as through a specialized high school with free tuition for in-state residents. UNCSA provides industry-leading instruction in an inclusive environment where students are encouraged to leverage the arts as a mechanism for change. Interdisciplinary opportunities arising from the unique arts ecosystem on campus at UNCSA prepare artists to enter an evolving global arts and entertainment industry. Established by the N.C. General Assembly in 1963, the School of the Arts opened in Winston-Salem (“The City of Arts and Innovation”) in 1965 and became part of the University of North Carolina System when it was formed in 1972.
