Bachelor of Fine Arts - Musical Theatre

Program Description

The 120 hour Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in musical theatre includes a theatre core and well as credits required in dance and music. The musical theatre major not only includes classroom academic training, but also valuable practical experience in all aspects of production. A mainstage musical is produced twice a year by the Gainesville Theatre Alliance, a professional theatre company that incorporates student and faculty talent in its productions. In addition, the student may become involved with other dance and music productions. Career opportunities include summer stock, repertory, opera and children’s theatre companies, or in any other regular theatre group that may periodically do musicals.
