Puppetry schools

[puppetology96]

I am in my last years of high school and am looking to pursue a career in puppetry.Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding a college worth while for me to be able to advance my puppetry skills as much as possible. If anybody knows a good puppetry school then i'd be most gracious if you would let me know about it so i could look in to it. Thanks

I know that my university, the University of Connecticut, has one of the few puppetry programs for bachelor's and master's degrees in the nation. I'm not in the program, but it has an excellent reputation on campus. The university itself has a beautiful campus if you can handle a little cold, plus there are lots of new buildings being built and wonderful sports teams as well.

Here's a link to the puppetry school home page.

UNIMA USA has a list of puppetry schools worldwide available on their website, UConn does rank very highly amongst them.
