Syracuse
Carnegie Mellon
University of the Arts

All have BFA MT Majors, but allow Theatre/ Drama majors to take some MT classes, audition for musicals (I think at all of the above), etc…

I believe the same is true at UCF (FL).

Of the above schools I believe that at Syracuse and CMU the MT and Acting students take the same acting classes, and audition for plays so one could be a MT Major and get a solid foundation in acting. This may be the case at the other schools as well…

At VCU (VA) they do not offer a MT program, but ther are MT electives that the BFA Acting students can take, and they produce musicals on a regular basis.
