Musical Theater
With our musical theater concentration, you can hone your creativity and build community so that you can serve more fully in a variety
of careers. By combining theater with our interdisciplinary music major, you will learn techniques
of voice training with core courses in music, theater techniques with core courses
in theater, and take electives in both theater and music to enhance your knowledge
and skills in both areas.
Annual musical productions will give you many opportunities to practice your new skills and hone your stage presence. A senior capstone project puts you at center stage, putting everything you’ve learned into practice in one finale project.
