About this program
SUNY Geneseo's BA in Musical Theatre is a pre-professional degree designed for students who want to explore musical theatre within a rigorous liberal arts context. Unlike specialized performance programs, this degree prioritizes flexibility and allows students to equally pursue both musical theatre training and broader liberal arts education, enabling double majors and individualized course selection. The program emphasizes personal transformation and offers small class sizes with individualized attention from faculty professionals. Students receive comprehensive training in music, theatre, and dance, with instruction in the classic and contemporary musical theatre canons, acting, play analysis, music theory, dance classes, weekly voice lessons, theatre history, and audition technique. A distinctive feature is the annual NYC Immersion trip, which connects students with industry professionals and expands their horizons beyond campus.
