BFA in Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre is closely linked to the acting program, sharing the first two years of training work. To this core, Musical Theatre majors add work in singing, dance, and musical theatre performance. As with the Acting Program, students continue through the Musical Theatre Program only with the permission of the faculty and a re-audition process at the end of the sophomore year.
