COURSES OF STUDY
Musical Theatre (MS) (MU) (THA)
Bachelor of Arts
Michael Flowers, Program Coordinator
The musical theatre major provides students with a combination of
courses in dance, music, and theatre that is intended to prepare them for
careers as performers in musical theatre. Given its emphases on acting,
ballet, voice, piano, jazz, and music theory, the musical theatre major is
more specialized than the theatre major, and a successful review at the end
of the sophomore year is required to gain admission to the program.
