About the Minor
The Minor in Musical Theatre allows students with a background, interest, or passion in musical theatre to continue their studies and further explore their craft. Our minor—which includes courses in singing, acting, and dancing—is designed to help students develop skills through performance-based, small-group classes and private instruction. It also includes the study of theoretical and historical elements of music and theatre, expands students' understanding of how musical theatre can intersect with other fields of study, and allows them to develop additional skills that complement the marketable competencies and knowledge they acquire in their majors.
*Admission to this minor is available by audition only. For questions, see Contact Information below.
Students who earn a Minor in Musical Theatre often pursue careers in fields such as theatre, film, television, arts administration, acting, teaching, and other similar professions.
