Entertain a career on the stage or behind the scenes.

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Musical Theatre is designed to provide students who have career aspirations in musical theatre with training and experiences in singing, music skills, acting, dancing, directing, and professional practices.

The professional actor training program combines the study of history, theory and analysis of music and theatre with practical production experience both on stage and back stage.
