About the program

We are excited to begin the academic year with new programs, and renewed energy to make Lehman’s performing arts programs a destination for student creativity. Our undergraduate programs put students in the spotlight. Whether you are a musician, dancer, or actor, we have performance opportunities for you from choral singing, jazz bands, urban and improvisational dance, to contemporary drama. And you don’t have to be a major to perform with us! Our programs prepare the next generation of teachers, composers, playwrights, directors, and arts managers. Our multimedia programs engage the latest in digital audio and video technology with access to one of the finest recording studios in New York City. Courses in Entrepreneurship, Performing Arts Management, Music Therapy, Stagecraft, along with Professional Internships and Practicum provide professional experience and insight to start your career in the performing arts.
