Update on one of the schools listed. Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, CA has just cut all of their arts programs: music, drama, fine arts. Kids who aren’t graduating next year will not be able to finish their arts majors, from what I am hearing. Heard this from a friend who has a child there. Here is a link to an article about it: https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/11/belmont-university-closes-theatrical-program-instructor-bows-out-with-self-penned-show/
Xavier University Cincinnati OH has a BA Musical Theatre degree. Audition is required. More information is available in a separate thread I posted yesterday if anyone is interested in learning more.
can you share the other post on xavier MA MT
Newbie here trying to understand variations in programs.Do I have this right?
BFA Musical Theater: Theater Program focus on Musical Theater specifically
BFA Theater, MT Concentration: Program focus on theater performance (acting) with option to emphasize MT with addition of specific MT classes.
BA Musical Theater: Musical Theater major with fewer theater requirements than BFA but more elective requirements from related liberal arts fields
BM Music Theater: A Music major emphasizes vocal performance and music theory with musical theater components blended in
Yes on your assessment; however, I found first two degreas could be the same curriculum.
It looks like the list has not been updated since November 2017 despite several comments since then with updates. I’ll try to confirm the comments and update the list based on those. The one I know for certain is the cessation of the program at Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, California.
As far as I can tell, this list is a collaborative effort since no one can keep tabs on every program. I verified comments since the last update back in 2017 and applied those changes here. Given the fluidity of programs, no guarantee this is 100% current.
Added: Xavier (BA Audition), U of Mary Washington (BA w/MT minor, non-audition),
Changed: North Central College moved from audition to non-audition, Western Connecticut State moved from BA to BFA audtion
Removed: Notre Dame de Namur CA (non-audition BFA)

@PhilipM - your assessment is a good starting point, but you should always look at the specific curriculum for each school as not all BFAs have the same curriculum and not all BMs have the same curriculum. For example, Baldwin Wallace’s MT degree is a BM, and while they have great vocal training, they also have great dance and acting training also. Same for OKCU. So really look at what classes are required at each individual school. I would hate for someone to rule out a school because of the letters of the degree when it really offers the training they are seeking. And I would hate for someone to assume a school offers the classes they wish to take because of the letters of the degree. Best advice is to study the individual curriculums , pick the places that provide the classes and training you desire and don’t worry about the letters on the degree.
Are any of these schools non-prescreen? Can you schedule an audition without sending in prescreen materials?
