Dance and theatre arts double major
Students who pursue a theatre arts and dance double major will complete a theatre arts BA program and a dance BA program, with additional suggested courses in music.
The Department of Dance requires an entry audition the semester prior to beginning classes; the Department of Theatre Arts requires no audition to become a major, but does require an audition after the completion of Acting II prior to advanced study in acting.
Please see the following road map for suggested dance/theatre arts double major courses available.
Music and theatre arts double major
The music and theatre arts double major allows students to major in both the theatre arts BA program and music BA program, with additional suggested courses available in dance and/or theatre movement.
The School of Music requires an entry audition the semester prior to beginning classes; the Department of Theatre Arts requires no audition to become a major, but does require an audition after the completion of Acting II prior to advanced study in acting.
Please see the following road map of suggested music and theatre arts double major courses available.
Looking for something different?
If you want to focus on dance, music, and theatre arts without a double major, consider the music theatre track instead.
