SUNY Purchase, Carnegie Mellon, Rutgers, NCSA... Im sure I forgot a ton...


There are lots.

Shameless plug.

SUNY Purchase is a great conservatory located 30min from NYC. All of our teachers work there and the full time teacher has PSM'd several Broadway shows.

Feel free to PM me with specific questions about Purchase. I'm graduating this year and its been fantastic.

I had a great experience at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  They've just updated their website and it really reflects the program now.. feel free to pm me with any questions!

I got my BFA in stage management from Boston University. If you're looking for a conservatory style in a city, I (with total bias) think BU was great. Feel free to PM me with any questions if interested.
