For vocalists, a concentration in musical theatre is an option. Students in Musical Theatre combine musical studies with courses in dance and theatre. The Musical Theatre Program offers a variety of shows each year, including a fully-staged musical, reviews, and a recital of musical theatre scenes.

The Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in commercial and electronic music combines studies in music technology and popular musical styles with one of four areas of specialization. The recording arts specialization prepares you for work in a professional studio, while the film and video specialization may lead to a career in multi-media. Specializations in MIDI/synthesis or jazz studies also are available. Students in all of these programs gain hands-on experience in WCU’s state-of-the-art recording studio.
