Colleges that offer musical theatre near New York City?

In my view, NYU/Tisch is similar to CMU in this regard…you can follow an Acting or a MT track option and either way, the degree is a BFA in Drama. However, most people would agree, I think, that if you study in NSB studio (or it used to be CAP21 studio when my D attended) at NYU/Tisch, you have attended a BFA in MT program, and same with the MT track at CMU. This is true even if the diploma states “BFA Drama.”

MT is NOT a minor at Tisch. It is not similar to what Hofstra offers. It is a full on MT program resulting in a BFA degree, much like the way that CMU offers a full study in MT that results in a BFA degree that is officially called “drama.”
