Musical Theatre
Bachelor of Fine Arts
Thrive, express, and create at a wildly theatrical campus.
The B.F.A. in musical theatre is a pre-professional degree that integrates voice, acting, and dance to prepare you for a life in the arts. Classes are taught by industry professionals, Nazareth faculty, and visiting guest artists in a rigorous yet supportive environment. Our students perform all 4 years, with multiple performance opportunities each year. To give you an edge, specialty courses include Theatre Business, Shakespeare, Acting for Camera, and Rock the Audition. Study abroad opportunities include Nazareth’s intense 12-day spring London study, or a full-tuition-exchange London semester.
