Hi Max!

I went to a theater school for high school and generally those who went on to study theater in college either applied for a BFA (Bachelors of Fine Arts) in theater or a BA (Bachelor of Arts) in theater. Depending on the school it might be called different things like acting or performance. Musical theater programs also can have BA and/or BFA degrees.

Generally BFA programs have more requirements in the application (an interview, audition etc.) but that's less common with a BA. You are also correct There are also programs that offer degrees in theater management, theater studies, etc.

Good luck!

Margaret’s Answer

It is preferable to follow a course that certifies that you have undergone training.
But above all, follow your deep intuition that takes your guts and stay focused with this strength for the rest of your life, even during the worst moments of your life path. Don't let anyone distract you from your vision and don't put your personal power in the hands of another person, even if they want you well.
Good luck.
