I am adding some more MT programs to CC's Big List. I will highlight the new additions to this list in RED.
As is stated in the first post:

If you know of any colleges that offer a musical theater degree that are not listed on this page, please let us know.

I will leave this thread open a short while but NOT TO BE USED FOR DISCUSSION. If any CC member has other MT schools to ADD (or notices any that need to be removed due to the program no longer being in existence) should leave a post like this:
Quote:

PLEASE ADD X COLLEGE (with degree program)

OR
Quote:

PLEASE REMOVE X COLLEGE as it no longer offers MT

Thank you and CC hopes this list created by CC members is a useful resource for those new to the Musical Theater college selection process.
KEY:
A + next to a school indicates that they are especially selective (that they admit only a small number of applicants).
A ~ next to a school indicates that they are non-audition (that they do not require an audition to major in musical theater). Schools without this mark do require an audition.
