The bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) degree program in musical theater is one of the few specialized musical theater programs in the country. The purpose of the musical theater program is to train students in a systematic way that prepares them to compete realistically in the complex professional world of musical theater. Achieving this goal requires a carefully structured balance of studio and academic work. Musical theater studio work requires skills not only in dramatic performance, but in music and dance as well. The B.F.A. program in musical theater utilizes the resources of both the Department of Drama and the Setnor School of Music. Students develop their skills in a structured, intensive format that features careful and expert guidance. Performance is a major focus of the 128-credit program. Students gain skills and experience in the various modes of musical theater: the revue, traditional musical comedies, operettas, and new and experimental forms. Coursework includes a balance of acting, voice, dance, theater history, music theory, and liberal education studies. The first year is the foundation for all future training. It focuses on techniques of acting, ballet, voice-both singing and speaking-sight-singing, music theory, dramatic theory, and technical theater crafts. Writing is also a requirement for all musical theater majors. The first year is a non-performance year, but students are assigned to work on one production behind the scenes. They may elect to work on additional productions in a wide variety of jobs. After the first year, students may audition for all productions-musicals, dramas, films-i.e., all productions connected with the Department of Drama and Syracuse Stage. They also begin specialized training in musical theater performance, scene study, audition techniques, musical theater history, musical theater dance, and choreography. Supplementing these studies are courses in theater history, additional weekly lessons in voice and piano, vocal ensemble experience, and academic electives.

One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme.

Syracuse University is an international research university that provides students with an outstanding education built on teaching excellence, rigorous scholarship, global engagement, and collaborative research that drives discovery and advances knowledge. In the 2016-17 academic year, University physicists were among the global consortium of scientists to detect, for the first time, both sound and light from the collision of two neutron stars in deep space. They also were among that same team whose historic discovery of gravitational waves a year earlier would make global headlines and earn team leaders a 2017 Nobel Prize. The University continues to expand opportunities for students to engage in these and other research collaborations and this year has worked to identify key focus areas for research that align with, and tap into, multiple areas of disciplinary strength. The University also has a long legacy of commitment to diversity and inclusion across multiple dimensions, with minority students currently making up about 25 percent of current enrollment and international students making up about 19 percent. Global literacy is a major piece of the academic experience, and we foster this by offering a wide range of learning, research, and immersion opportunities around the world and by mindfully working to promote interaction and engagement among our internationally diverse student body here on campus. In the last year, the University assembled an Internationalization Council to expand global scholarship and engagement opportunities for students both on and off campus, and to further enhance and support the international student experience at Syracuse. Today, nearly 45 percent of students study abroad at one of the University’s own centers in Beijing, Florence, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Santiago (Chile), and Strasbourg (France), or at other sites through partner organizations. Syracuse University also has long been a national leader in veteran-related programs and services, and it is building on that legacy with construction, now underway, of a National Veterans Resource Complex, scheduled to open in 2020. The University currently is home to such precedent-setting veterans’ initiatives as the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families—the first university-based institute in the U.S. focused on addressing unique issues and challenges affecting veterans and their families. Building on our longstanding strengths while evolving in light of emerging needs and opportunities, Syracuse continues to distinguish itself by offering multifaceted learning and research experiences that address urgent challenges and prepare students to make a difference in a constantly changing world.
Syracuse University is committed to ensuring that all students receive an education built on teaching excellence, rigorous scholarship, global engagement, and collaborative research that drives discovery and advances solutions to complex challenges of the day. The University continues to implement key aspects of its Academic Strategic Plan, including an expanded focus on collaborative research, internationalization, experiential and entrepreneurial experiences, and veteran-related scholarship and programs. Recent initiatives to advance these strategic goals include formation of a University-wide Internationalization Council to foster global engagement both on and off campus and help ensure that upon graduation, all students have the skills, experiences, and cultural knowledge needed to live, work, and thrive in a deeply interconnected world. Students can engage in one-of-a-kind off-campus learning and immersion experiences at Syracuse University study abroad centers on three continents as well as in such major metropolitan hubs as New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Dubai. The University also continues to expand opportunities for collaborative research, particularly on issues and topics that align with, and tap into, multiple areas of disciplinary strength. Syracuse continues to strategically evolve in ways that meet emerging needs; generate substantive, innovative learning opportunities; and prepare students to thrive as they put their Syracuse education to work in a world that is constantly changing.
