About the program

The URI Theatre program provides a conservatory experience in a pre-professional liberal arts setting. Our distinguished faculty, guest artists and staff place an equal emphasis on the theoretical and practical understanding of theatre. Artistically vibrant, relevant and rooted in collaboration, our unique production program enriches all students and serves the educational and cultural needs of the university and the greater community.

The University of Rhode Island (URI) has a general acceptance rate of 77%, but it's difficult to pinpoint a specific acceptance rate for the Theatre Department, as URI doesn't publish separate acceptance rates for specific departments.
