Bottom line? Welcome to boot camp. They do not treat their students well, especially the ones who are in the high school program. I do have friends that are currently in the dance program, and although they are getting a great education, they have a lot of complaints. Students have no free time (granted, I know that every program is rigorous and you don't get a lot of time, but the stories I've heard from students is a little mond-boggling.) They don't have a SM program, and although they do have a technical program, it's not as well known as their acting/dance area...
It's been 10 years, so some of this information will be dated...
The high school program referred to is completely seperated from the college. They have their own dorms and their own classes, and is predominately dance and drama. There is also a visual arts (drawing, graphic design, sculpture) in the high school program. They have curfews, no boys on the floor, etc., and if your information was from anyone under 18 at the time, it does not in any way apply to the college experience.
That said, there are 5 schools: Dance, Drama, Music, Filmmaking, and Design & Production. Stage Management is a major in D&P. All degrees are BFAs, or MFAs. Some majors are not offered at the graduate level, undergrad only. D&P supports all 4 other schools (although I don't know to what extent with the Film school at this point). You are exposed to Dance, Drama, Musical Theatre, Opera, and Film disciplines to work on, giving you the ability to find your own strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. Freshmen in D&P generally take the same classes, so you can apply to change majors if you find a better fit with one department or the other.
And it is a boot camp. You work your butt off. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you survive it, you've hopefully had the attitude kicked out of you.
I have already exchanged PMs with dallas, but I'm happy to respond to anyone else out there with questions. The alumni office can also offer other people to contact.
