About this program
The Herbert & Nicole Wertheim School of Music & Performing Arts at FIU offers a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre — separate from the Department of Theatre's BFA in Musical Theatre. The Wertheim is housed in the same building (The Wertheim) and shares performance spaces, but is administered separately. NOTE FOR APPLICANTS: FIU has TWO musical theatre pathways — the BFA MT (through Department of Theatre; administered by Rebecca Covey) and the BM MT (through Wertheim School of Music).
