About this program
The University of Mary Washington is a public liberal arts university founded in 1908, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia — midway between Washington, DC and Richmond, each approximately 60 miles away. About 4,500 undergraduates are enrolled. UMW is a highly regarded liberal arts institution with a strong emphasis on experiential learning and community. The Department of Theatre and Dance, founded in 1913, is one of the oldest theatre training programmes in the state, and has approximately 50-60 declared Theatre Majors and Musical Theatre Minors at any time. Faculty accompany students to professional events in Richmond and Washington, DC where students can audition and interview for professional opportunities. The Music Department benefits from Pollard Hall's recording studio, electronic music lab, and recital hall. Both departments leverage UMW's prime location between two major US arts markets. In-state tuition: approximately $14,000/year; out-of-state: approximately $30,000/year (confirm at umw.edu).
