ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Musical Theatre

Bachelor of Arts
The musical theatre major provides students with a combination of courses in dance,
music, and theatre that is intended to prepare them for careers as performers in musical
theatre. The musical theatre major is more specialized than the theatre major, and
faculty members will offer students guidance at the end of the sophomore year on
whether the musical theatre degree or theatre degree is the most appropriate program.
Upon completion of the musical theatre major, students will be able to
• perform acting goals and tactics
• execute theatre designs using appropriate technology
• demonstrate strong collaborative skills and production process
• perform informed analysis of theatre practices

Philosophy
Bachelor of Arts
Andrew Morgan
Western philosophers from Plato to Whitehead have attempted systematically and
consistently to do what every reflective person does fragmentarily and haphazardly:
reflect on beliefs about the physical world, moral and religious commitments, aesthetic
experiences, relations of the individual to the community, and other phases of human
experience. In doing so, philosophers have hoped to deepen their insights into the
meaning of human existence and to explore the possibilities for individuals to participate
creatively in the reconstruction of their values to meet the new conditions of the
contemporary world.
