Are you willing to commit the next three years of your life to studying and making theatre? If the answer is “no” then probably not. Cal Rep is an intensive program which demands commitment, focus and your creative spirit.
No. Cal Rep is a full-time, three year commitment.
Because the MFA is a practical degree there is little time outside of teaching, performing, and taking classes. Due to the intense schedule of Cal Rep, outside work is rarely feasible.
Yes. Each MFA program (acting, management, and design) has assistantship programs available. A small stipend may be paid to students for teaching classes/labs, working in the shops, managing theatre operations and grading.
Student fees for graduate students at CSULB are approximately $2,771.00 per semester.
