Description

International Year One allows you to begin earning credits toward your degree even if you don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. You will receive additional support to help you successfully complete your first year and graduate in the same amount of time as direct entry students.

Our newest degree program – the Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA) in Musical Theatre - builds on our nationally recognized BA Theatre Degree and offers professional training in acting, singing and dancing. This is a truly intensive BFA – your time here will be spent doing what you love and learning to be better at it.

Why Study Musical Theatre?

• Powerful Allies: Through partnerships with the UAB Department of Music and The Alabama Ballet Company, students in the BFA Program receive highly specialized training in Acting, Voice and Speech, Movement, Private Voice Lessons, Music Theory, Piano, Ballet, Jazz, and Tap.
• Perform while you Study: Theatre UAB produces at least four Mainstage productions a year as well as studio productions and our Festival of Ten-Minute Plays, offering ample performance opportunities each semester.
• Career Preparation: Graduates of our BFA are prepared for a career in major cities such as NY and LA by participating in workshops with Guest Artists currently working in the industry and through the intense work of the Musical Theatre Capstone course focusing on all the “business” aspects of “show business.”
