Edinburgh Theatre
One of the most challenging and life-changing experiences that the Pepperdine Theatre Program offers is the Edinburgh Summer Program. The Pepperdine Theatre program has participated in the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe since 1985. This popular bi-annual program always runs at full capacity and serves as an exclusive academic program for theatre majors.
In order to be selected for the program a student must:
- Furnish all materials requested by International Programs
- Be in good standing with the university
- Have a minimum GPA of 2.5
- You will fill out an application with International Programs as well as a theatre program application.
- You must be eligible to take either Religion 300 or English 380 in the summer during our residency in Glasgow. This means that by the summer you will need to have completed English 101 and/or Religion 101.
