音乐剧在美国每年的戏剧作品中占很大比例。我们认识到，音乐戏剧的学习，表演和制作是任何完整的戏剧教育的组成部分。音乐剧院专业的目标是培训学生在竞争性娱乐业中音乐和舞台表演方面的成功职业。该专业共享来自戏剧与舞蹈学院和音乐学院的联合课程和资源，但是，该课程的管理位于戏剧与舞蹈学院。通过侧重于戏剧，音乐和舞蹈学科的学习课程，再加上大学的通识教育基金会（GEF）课程，该计划与全国各地的类似计划相比具有竞争力，尤其是在强度和上课时间上音乐，戏剧和舞蹈的学习，实践和表演。
Musicals comprise a large percentage of the theatrical productions in the U.S. every year. We recognize that musical theatre study, performance and production are integral parts of any complete theatre education. The goal of the Musical Theatre major is to train students for successful careers in musical and stage performance in the competitive entertainment industry. The major shares a joint curriculum and resources drawn from both the School of Theatre and Dance and the School of Music, however, the administration of the program is housed in the School of Theatre and Dance. Through a course of study focused on the disciplines of theatre, music and dance combined with the University's General Education Foundations (GEF) curriculum, the program is competitive with similar programs throughout the country, especially in the intensity and class time devoted to the study, practice and performance of music, theatre and dance.
