Welcome to Music Theatre at UCIrvine! We are glad you have joined us for this educational journey in the Department of Drama where you will have the opportunity to explore and engage your performing artist in a world where musical theatre is taught as text first.
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Music Theatre is the final step in our MT class offerings. Students that have completed one quarter of Music Theatre Workshop Level III can audition for entry into the BFA track.
