Admitted students are required to submit final secondary school (high school) transcripts and/or proof of degree completion (A-Levels, WAEC, CBSE, High School Certificate, etc.) before enrolling at DePaul. An application to any of The Theatre School's BFA majors is a two-part process that involves submitting the required application materials and participating in an audition (acting major) or interview (non-acting majors.)
​Request three letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your desire to attend The Theatre School, such as a teacher, director, or employer.
​Your resume can include both theatre experience and non-theatre experience (extracurricular activities, employment, etc.) You will need to submit a resume before you are able to register for an interview.
Have an official copy of your high school transcript sent to The Theatre School Admissions Office. If you have taken college credit courses you wish to have considered for transfer credit, please have your official college transcripts sent to us as well.
Your portfolio will steer the interview conversation and should demonstrate your talent and potential as a student in the BFA Costume Design program.
