Whether you want to pursue music or theatrical performance as a career or cultivate a lifelong passion in listening and recording, you will have ample opportunity to hone your creative skills in the Music and Theater department. As part of a growing community on campus, both music and theater students have the chance to live with like-minded students in a residence community, choreograph and perform in shows around campus, participate in music ensembles, conduct research on the visual and sonic arts, and attend national conferences and competitions.
Our professors are scholars who have studied and performed around the world, and bring their unique perspectives to the classroom.
What drives this department is its unparalleled access to New York City. Many courses utilize the world-class performance venues, concert halls, creative workshops, and theaters in the area to bring course material to life. Our students have the opportunity to intern at record labels, radio stations, cultural magazines, production companies, and theaters. Our graduates leave the College with a greater appreciation for music and theater, and a refined skill set that complements a variety of subject areas and career opportunities.
