Associate in Arts

What You Will Learn

This unique Musical Theatre major for aspiring performers at County College of Morris (CCM) is designed for students who want to excel in “the triple threat” of music, performance and dance.

This Associate in Arts program will give students a foundation to transfer and earn a Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. Musical Theatre majors will learn to read music and audition with enough proficiency to transfer to a four-year institution or audition for legitimate theatre.

Why Study Musical Theatre at CCM?

Students enrolled in the CCM Musical Theatre program will attend classes in the newly constructed Music Technology Center and in the newly renovated Dragonetti Auditorium, both state-of-the-art facilities. Faculty in this program all have advanced degrees and expertise in the areas of voice, theatre and dance. All faculty are also experienced in professional performances and production.

An Associate in Arts in Musical Theatre provides the students a platitude of performance experiences. In the first two years of this degree, they are allowed to participate in two major musicals, two dramas, and cabaret. These experiences give them performance opportunities not offered in first-degree programs in other Performing Arts institutions.
