Music, Theatre and Film
Built on the praxis of analysis and creation, the Department of Music, Theatre & Film offers a wide range of courses in two major degree programs – the BA in Music (Music major or Music major with concentration in Music Therapy), and the BA in Theatre & Film (with a concentration in Theatre, Musical Theatre, or Film/TV). In addition, the Department offers stand-alone minors in Music, Theatre Studies, and Film/TV Studies, as well as being a partner department in the Music Industry minor. At the core of all degree programs are the shared values of historical insight, analytical rigor, technical proficiency, and creative expression.
Within each of its disciplines, the Department offers a breadth of courses that not only equip students with the tools to understand and evaluate an existing body of work, but also teach the necessary technical skills to bring their own work to fruition while fostering both creativity and engagement in the world around them. The curriculum aims to prepare students for careers in their respective fields or for further study at the graduate level, but perhaps more importantly, to give graduates a foundation of organizational, analytical, technical, and creative tools from which they might launch any future endeavor.
Faculty and staff in the Department of Music, Theatre and Film hold accomplished roles as actors, musicians, directors, composers, filmmakers and much more. Well established in their professions, they are dedicated to sharing their career experiences, knowledge and expertise with their students, offering important insights into the world of music, theatre and film.
