BWW Student Center's School in the Spotlight: Rhode Island College

By:

The BroadwayWorld Student Centeris a comprehensive Student Database listing college and university performing arts programs across the country making it easier for prospective students by showcasing programs searchable by schools, location, degrees and concentrations.

The Student Center also offers a show calendar of college and high-school productions where schools can upload photos, videos, cast lists, articles and other media content for each of their shows. BWW will be combing through all content regularly and will launch weekly feature stories highlighting productions locally and nationally that have provided us with this extra content.

This week's featured school is The Music, Theater, and Dance Department at Rhode Island College!
 
The mission of the department includes enhancing the creative context of the performing arts, generating new and exciting programming, creating an interdisciplinary curriculum with team teaching, and encouraging collaborative efforts by faculty and students.

The Music, Theater, and Dance Department offers programs of study in the performing arts. Undergraduates may pursue academic majors and minors in a variety of music, theatre and dance fields.

The Theatre department offers a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre as well as a minor. Dance students  
 can work toward at Bachelor of Arts or enroll in the minor program. The Music Department offers a Bachelor of Music with concentrations in Performance or Music Education, a Bachelor of Arts in Music, Master of Arts in Education or Teaching, as well as minors in Music or Jazz Studies. For more information on each program, click here.

In addition, many students who are pursuing academic majors in other areas participate in the Department's activities and performances. Starting tonight thru December 1, the RIC Dance Company and RIC Theatre will present A-MIRROR-CA: A Reflection of America's Media Driven Society in Sapinsley Hall, Nazarian Center.
