Each drama program requires an audition or a design portfolio review in addition to Syracuse University's general requirements. Auditions and design portfolio reviews may be completed in person or by mail. Please visit our sections on Submitting Your Audition or Review, Audition and Portfolio Requirements, and Audition Preparation to assist you with the audition and portfolio review process. We have also included an admissions checklist (PDF) for your convenience.
Visit the section titled Meet Us if you would like to learn more about the Department of Drama and opportunities to have an audition or portfolio review at one of our on- or off-campus events.
