Who should apply?

Applicants to the ETC must be a graduate of an undergraduate program from a college or university. Otherwise, there is no special requirement, undergrad major, or professional experience expected from our applicants. There is also no minimum grade average or test scores that we look for.

We do expect applicants to have a demonstrated proficiency in some area (andthe bounds of those areas are defined only by your imagination). In other words,an applicant should be really good at at least one thing which they think willcontribute to the ETC. Are you a... superb 3D modeler? master code monkey? stagemanager extraordinaire? talented screenwriter? mesmerizing mechanical engineer?theatrical lighting expert? Then the ETC might be the place for you.

In addition, we have found that students with passion for what they do, who are self-motivated and have a capacity for critical thinking tend to excel in this program. If you do not have such qualities, you may not be happy at the ETC, and you may want to visit our list of similar programs to find a place better suited to your needs. Furthermore , if you are interested in learning one particular skill-set (how to animate, for instance, or how to program in Java) then the ETC probably isnít the place for you, either. The bottom line, though, is that at the ETC, we are open and flexible and we expect our applicants to be the same.
