<p>Is this a good, solid music theatre department for someone who is very interested in pursueing this?</p>

<p>UC Berkeley is NOT what would be considered a ‘great’ musical theater school.
For those schools, you may want to check out the very active musical theater section on this board. Also remember that there is a significant difference at many schools between an MT major and someone who is an enthusiast. Be sure to check if non-major can audition for performances at any school you may be interested in.</p>

<p>That said, their theater department is fine but not generally the reason people want to go to UCB.</p>

<p>UCLA has a fabulous theater department - by audition - and
UC Irvine does have a small but ‘great’ musical theater department.</p>

<p>UCIs musical theater department is small</p>

<p>Most UCs are not known for Drama and Theater (UCLA being the exception)</p>

<p>CSUs are famous for them though especially CSU Fullerton</p>

<p>Check out The University of Michigan for MT since you are from NY. One of the best.</p>
