This comprehensive training program, now approaching its 25th anniversary year, has a
national reputation among professional agents, casting directors, and
producers as being among the best of its kind. A unique situation
exists at Michigan, since theatre, dance and music coexist as
departments within the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. Students in musical theatre, as
part of their curriculum, study with faculty members in the departments
of Theatre and Drama, Voice, Dance, and Musical Theatre. The University
of Michigan is one of a select number of schools which promote this
degree of collaboration among areas within the performing arts.
As part
of the degree, students have numerous opportunities to learn about
career strategies,audition techniques, and a wide range of performance
skills. Studying at Michigan also presents opportunities to choose
among hundreds of classes outside the performing arts. In fact,
Michigan offers a rare dual degree program in which you can work on the
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
Science degree simultaneously. All of this combines to make Michigan's
Department of Musical Theatre a unique place for the aspiring musical
theatre professional to begin a career.
If you are more interested in an acting or directing major, read the information in the Department of Theatre & Drama.
