Oklahoma City University has a Comp major as well as MT, both are BMs, like Baldwin-Wallace. I’ll reiterate what BWMT09 said though… it’s extremely difficult to do both. Musical Theatre is a very serious track, and does not allow any extra time for a double major. MTs are very often taking the maximum allowed credits (and paying $$$ extra) because there are so so many requirements. That being said, I agree with those that said it’s okay to major in performance, and still compose on the side. You can take composition electives (and as an MT major, I have comp majors in many of my music classes anyway…) Just think, there wasn’t always such a thing as a composition major… but composers composed anyway. All I’m saying, is to think very hard about a double major like that. You may end up leaving with less knowledge in both fields because you were not able to put all of the time required into each.
Just follow your passion. There are different means to an end.
