If you've dreamed of a future in theatre and dance, then why not follow your passion to CMU? Our Theatre and Dance degrees bring together a strong curriculum, experienced faculty from diverse backgrounds, great facilities, and numerous opportunities to participate in productions starting in your freshman year. Theatre-related degree programs are available in Design/Technical Theatre, Acting/Directing, and Music Theatre, and a minor is available in Dance. Auditions are required for admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) programs in Acting and Music Theatre, and an interview is required for the BFA Design/Tech, but not for our other Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts offerings. Dual majors may also be prepared to allow more diverse future options.
Theatre students also learn a variety of skills that are considered "most-valuable" by employers of all kinds, including creative problem solving, teamwork, meeting deadlines, priority setting, communicating orally, working under pressure, adaptability, and balancing the competing needs of project partners.
