<p>There are students who pursue a double major BA Music, BA Theatre at OCU. there are also students who choose the Vocal Performance or the BFA Acting degree as options to the MT degree. All students can audition for all shows. Requirements for each degree vary quite a bit. And the faculty may be different as well. Dance majors also get some voice training as part of their curriculum. So many options available at OCU.</p>
<p>I should note that MTs are required to take many of the same classes listed above including theory, aural skills, piano and choir. Those are all required courses and are part of the MT degree which is a Bachelor of Musoc degree.</p>
