Whether you are a journalism student interested in acting or an engineering student wanting to continue playing your instrument, there is a place for everyone in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre. Audition for productions, take our courses, earn a minor or certificate, attend our events and participate in our broad range of programs. We value the creativity, personal experience and voice of every student.
