BFA Four-Year Degree Plan: Musical Theatre
The musical theatre program at Missouri State can be completed in four years or a
total of eight semesters. However, a four-year degree plan does not take into account
dual credit or transfer credit that you may bring upon admission to the university.
Sample schedule
This is a model four-year degree plan. Your path to graduation may very slightly based
on factors such as college credit you earned while in high school, your choice of
a minor or second major, and placement in English. This sample schedule serves as
a guide and should not replace regular meetings with your advisor.
All music and theatre courses should be taken in the sequence suggested. Students
may wish to rearrange the general education classes but are cautioned to check for
prerequisites that can affect graduation planning.
The following degree plan, last reviewed 07-02-2018, is based on the 2018-19 catalog and Missouri State general education requirements.
