The Music and Theater Arts program provides students at MIT the opportunity to experience the unique language and process of the arts. Faculty and teaching staff help students understand art’s demand for rigor and discipline and its non-quantitative standards of excellence and beauty. A strong, comprehensive program in both music and theater arts—encompassing history, theory, and performance— is taught by faculty and staff of the highest caliber. Their ongoing professional activities inform their teaching. This has been and will continue to be our hallmark.
