University of Miami Theatre Arts Programs

The University of Miami Department of Theatre Arts offers two distinct undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with concentrations in Comprehensive Musical Theatre, Design & Technology, and Stage Management.

Bachelor of Fine Arts in Comprehensive Musical Theatre

The Comprehensive Musical Theatre program is a highly competitive, conservatory-based program that trains students to be singing actors with a solid vocal and acting technique for work in musical theatre and non-musical theatre. The program includes classes in acting, voice/speech, movement, dance, and singing every semester, taught by some of the best teachers in the country.

• Unique features of the program:
  • Low student-to-teacher ratio, with an average of 10 students to each faculty member
  • No competition with graduate students for stage roles or classes, as the Department does not have an MFA graduate program
  • Exposure to a wide-ranging repertoire of plays in the classroom and during the production season
