Bachelor in Acting/Music Theater

The program is a conservatory training course within a university setting offering students a four-year, sequence-based program leading to a B.F.A. in Drama.

Both acting and music theater students take the same extensive core curriculum classes of acting, voice and speech, and movement. Additionally, students elect to take a number of cross-option classes within the School of Drama and periodic electives within the university.

Classes are small and an emphasis is placed on highly individualized, personal attention, as well as developing a sense of collaboration and working in an ensemble. The faculty consists of working theater professionals committed to teaching and instilling the highest standards of discipline, quality, and professional ethics.

We encourage critical inquiry and creative production, melding CMU with society and culture.

At the College of Fine Arts, we cultivate a community of nationally and internationally recognized artists and professionals within our five schools (Architecture, Art, Design, Drama and Music), our associated programs (BXA Intercollege Degree Programs and Arts & Entertainment Management), the Miller Institute for Contemporary Art and the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry.
