DO I NEED TO APPLY?

Any admitted PSU student can declare a theater major — no application is necessary. Students can apply for PSU admission and indicate their desire to join the Theater program. Students can apply for admission at any time up until the start of classes, but the earlier you apply, the more funds are available. Students are encouraged to apply for admission and financial aid before February 1.
