I know it's been thrown around a zillion times or more about which Colleges/Conservatories are the best for Musical Theatre, but something that hasn't been discussed in great detail (at least not in the articles I found when I searched this topic) is the affordability of these places. What are some good schools that fall in around $10,000 to $15,000 a year? If the selection in that range is scarce, I'd be willing to push it up to $20,000....but I'm poor. 
lol Thanks all!

Hey,
You should check out Randolph Academy. Should fall in that price range, and it is a pretty good program.

I think you should consider North Carolina School for the Arts. The tuition for out of state students is a little over 14,000 dollars a year. It is a four year program and the arts facilities are very impressive. When you go to visit they allow you to sit in on all the classes.

Oh--one more benefit about North Carolina School for The Arts--
If you really impress them at audition, they may offer you a talent scholarship which greatly defrays the expenses

Posted: 9/7/05 at 5:01pmWhat's Point Park's cost like? They have a large number of theater students and offer a lot of scholarship options.

NC does not have a musical theatre program it focuses on straight theatre. And Point Park really is very overpriced and very bleh, definatly a program on the way down.
A good conservatory is probably going to cost upwards of $30,000. Hey you can still try though, many schools give out huge talent scholarships.
Many State schools have excellent programs that often rival near by conservatories and are almost much cheaper. It would be a much better choice than scamda or one of those 2 yr places.
