The Application Process
- University application deadline: February 1st.
- Theatre Arts Audition/Interview materials deadline: March 15th.
- Admission into Baylor is highly competitive. Prospective students are strongly urged to complete their application at the earliest possible date in order to avoid being waitlisted by the university.
- Acceptance into Baylor’s Theatre Arts program is by audition/interview only. Prospective students must be accepted by both the University and the Department of Theatre Arts.
Pre-screening
- Prescreening audition materials (monologues, songs, resume, etc.) will be submitted as part of the application to Baylor University. These can be uploaded to your application Portfolio. The audition/materials will be reviewed and successful applicants will be invited for a second interview/audition (either in person or remotely). Alternatively, you can audition at one of the collective auditions, in lieu of submitting the pre-screening materials.
On-Campus/Remote Auditions and Interviews
