The Music Theatre Program is a collaborative initiative between the College of Music and the School of Theatre. This selective BFA program trains gifted students nationwide for professional performance careers. The curriculum integrates theater, music, and dance instruction, equipping students with essential skills for this demanding field. Beyond classroom learning, participants enjoy multiple annual performance chances, featuring two full-scale musical productions per season.
Each spring, senior Music Theatre students can audition in New York City's Senior Showcase. This event allows them to present their talents to prominent directors, agents, and casting professionals from across the country.
