I'm trying to do the same thing (study musical theatre in the UK).\n\nIf you can, find people that you can talk to that live over there. They'll be able to offer a plethora of information regarding schools and reputations. They might also be able to direct you to the schools that actually offer musical theatre.

Vassar's theatre and film department is absolutely fantastic.  So is their English department.  The creative writing courses are extremely hard to get into, though.  You have to submit a portfolio, and the professors choose the students with the most talent.\n\nHampshire differs in that it is very small and self-directed.  At Hampshire, you are often doing independent study rather than attending formal classes.  It's very interdisciplinary, though.\n\nIf you would benefit from a bit more structure, choose Vassar.  But keep in mind that at Vassar, you can also design your own major, and do independent studies as you choose.\n\nI went to Vassar, and recommend it without reservation.  It was the best decision I could have made. \n\nOh, and quite a few of my Vassar classmates from '84 and '85 are now respected actors and filmmakers.\n\nHere's the last bit of advice you'll need: Check out \nhttp://www.collegeconfidential.com\nand search for both Vassar and Hampshire.  You'll find great discussion groups for both, and lots of current students willing to give advice.

Here is a list of colleges with dance majors... I know that is not exactly what you want, but it is the best I can find, and it is a good bet that most schools with a dance minor also offer it as a major.

It looks like a lot of this information is on their website, listed below.  They have several colleges such as Arts and Sciences, Engineering, etc.  Within each of those there are many departments in which you can major.  For example, in Arts & Sciences there are 24 departments from Aerospace Studies to Zoology -- just click on the pulldown menu from the second page listed below.

Absolutely. You can do it and graduate in 4 years, too, if you're willing to do the work. Double or triple majors are extremely common. My recommendation is to do your major in forensics (since that will be the degree your're more likely to get a career with) and a minor in theatre. Most acting jobs won't actually require any formal training, so taking a minor will help you gain the skills you'll need to be an actor, producer or what have you, while your main degree will be much more career-oriented. Good luck!

I would stay at the old school with the great  music and drama program, if you are really good you may go to college on a music or drama scholarship.\n\nCan you handle not being part of the "in crowd" in your new area?

I have a friend that studied at Howard and he loved it.  He is now a fashion model.  He also spent a semester in France and Italy.  He was involved in theatre and dancing while he attended too.

Here is a list of the ones I've seen most talked about in terms of being good for leading a dance major into a performance career:\n\nArizona State University\nButler University\nIndiana University\nJuilliard School\nMarymount Manhattan College\nNYU, Tisch School of the Arts\nOhio State University\nPoint Park University\nSouthern Methodist University\nSUNY, Purchase\nTemple University\nUniversity of Arizona\nUniversity of Michigan\nUniversity of Oklahoma\nUniversity of South Florida\nUniversity of Utah\nUniversity of the Arts\n\nHOWEVER, you will need to do more soul-searching and investigation to find the right college program FOR YOU. Which style of dance are you most interested in or do you want to improve in all styles of dance? Are you aiming to perform, teach or choreograph or a combination? How much academics do you want along with your dance requirements? Do you like being the top student who gets the most roles, or do you want to feel challenged in the studio?\n\nThe only way you are going to find the right program for you is to first do some research to draw up your own list, and then visit schools while they are in session. Then you must talk to the current dance majors. If you can't talk to them personally, search for them through MySpace.com.

Yes. You wouldn't have to major in communications to teach speech. Maybe you should look into an Education Major with emphasis in Theater and English and a minor in Music, or a Theater Major with a Minor in English Education and Music? You could do school for Theater and minor in Music and focus on that, and then do Education/English stuff later?

I'm not sure if this is rated world-wide but in the Philippines, it's the University of the Philippines COllege of Mass Communication.  They have a separate state of the art studio for the students to apply what they've learned, especially those who major in Broadcasting.

You may want to check into the University of California in Santa Cruz.  As I understand it, you can tailor a degree program to fit your specific focus of interest.  The field you are talking about is probably not offered as a specific post graduate degree, rather you will most likely need to focus on the topic while getting your post graduate degree in something like art history or art theory (depending on your specific focus in gay and lesbian studies).  I would check out liberal arts schools.  Maybe this answer is of no help, but I believe that you CAN achieve your educational goal.

See if your college/university has a Musicology Department. There have been studies done by Musicologist on that subject. I was studying Musicology for my Masters.
