Program Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Musical Theatre is a professional degree for students who are interested in pursuing a career as an actor and singer. Admission to this program is available by audition only. The broad, yet comprehensive, curriculum is based in theatre as a means of creative expression and a vehicle for public engagement. Students learn about theatre and performance from multiple perspectives. Practical application and theoretical investigation, as it relates to professional theatre, are balanced through required coursework. Students graduate from this program prepared for careers as broadly employable theatre professionals.

Musical Theatre is one of the most demanding performing arts professions within the theatre industry. The rigorous B.F.A. program requires coursework in three areas of performance—singing, dancing, and acting—as well as foundations in liberal arts and theatre history. Individualized instruction promotes focus and results in mature, talented, and energetic performers who are prepared for a career in the professional musical theatre field. Our students routinely win coveted internships and seats in acclaimed workshops—including those with Netflix, the Open Jar Institute, Disney's Animal Kingdom, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Cedar Point, and others. They also perform and win awards at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) and participate in Study Abroad programs, including performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
