This was an interesting combo of schools. Some of these are places I'm fairly familiar with and have friends attending, and quite a few of them I've never heard of before. It's interesting to see the comparison of different curriculums and programs. I forgot that UF only admits 6 students, which is only crazy to think about. I feel like being in such a small program would come with a lot of it's own challenges. I also find it interesting that not all of those top musical theatre programs have equal design programs. I feel like it is important to have both. Having low quality productions with incredible performers just feels wrong. I am glad that our school is balanced and so high up on the list in both areas. I must say, I was a little thrown off to see Baldwin Wallace University as the first school listed. I have not even once heard of that school, and I'm curious how it ended up there. I am now realizing that this list was alphabetical, so it's more of a coincidence that it's at the top of the list. Even so, it was just a bit surprising. I'm also intrigued by the fact that the degree they offer is a Bachelor of Music, no one else on the list does that.
