Interview
The interview plays an important role in the admission decision. It gives us the opportunity to discuss your portfolio with you, evaluate your talent and potential, and determine if you would be compatible with our program.
View the 2012-2013 Artistic Review schedule.
Applicants who are required to complete an interview (BFA Design/Technology, BFA Stage/Production Management) will book themselves into a 30–minute interview period. Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to the interview start time so that the interview staff can confirm your arrival and take a photo of you. This photo will be associated with your record and interview and it will only be used internally at Emerson College for the interview process. After you have been checked in, you will be directed to the room where your interview will take place. Anyone accompanying you will be directed to wait in the waiting room.
Applicants to the BFA in Stage/Production Management may complete their interview on-campus in Boston or in New York or Chicago in accordance with the 2012-2013 Artistic Review schedule. All in-person interviews are scheduled through Stagedoor.
Telephone interviews are available for applicants who live outside the Northeast United States and for whom the cost of traveling is prohibitive. They are offered on the Boston interview schedule on a space-available basis. Those applicants interested in scheduling a telephone interview should contact the Performing Arts Admission Coordinator at stagedoor@emerson.edu and, using a mailing service that offers tracking, mail a copy of their portfolio to:
Emerson College
Department of Performing Arts
Performing Arts Admission Coordinator
120 Boylston Street
Boston, MA, 02116
Please note that telephone interviews will not be scheduled until Performing Arts has received your portfolio.
