The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at CSU provides a rigorous undergraduate educational experience.

CSU Music believes that music is both an artistic and intellectual pursuit. We offer intense training in specialized music disciplines combined with a balance of core music courses in music history and theory. Our renowned and versatile faculty are committed to helping students discover their own unique identities through music. We offer Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degrees in Music Therapy, Music Education, Music Composition, and Music Performance, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Music (B.A.). Additionally, undergraduates can earn a performance-based music minor.

CSU Theatre emphasizes a reciprocal relationship between practice and scholarly study. Students explore every aspect of theatre, including the theory and practice of acting, singing, theatrical design, stage management, technical theatre, dramaturgy, dramatic criticism, storytelling, and playwriting. Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre (B.A.) choose a concentration: Performance, Musical Theatre, Set Design, Lighting Design and Technology, Projection Design and Technology, or Sound Design and Technology. Each concentration provides fundamental skills and experiences in theatre within a liberal arts context.

CSU Dance offers programs in classical and contemporary dance education culminating in either a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance (B.F.A.), a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Dance Education (B.F.A.), or a Bachelor of Arts in Dance (B.A). Students focus on areas such as performance, technique, and foundations; performance and repertoire; choreography and improvisation; pedagogy and teaching methodologies; history and theory; and technical production and design. Guest artists and masterclasses are a regular occurrence. Dance majors explore the many possibilities for movement expression, along with creativity and scholarly examination, in a challenging and supportive environment.

Non-performing arts majors are welcome to participate in music ensembles, marching band, theatre productions, theatre shops, dance concerts, and dance technique classes. Many activities require an audition and some do not. Please visit our website for information about how to get involved as a non-performing arts major.
