Program details

Overview

The Honours Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance is a four-year honours baccalaureate degree offered at Sheridan College's Trafalgar Campus in Oakville. The program provides theoretical and practical training across acting, singing and dance, with classes five days a week and individualized tutorials in singing and acting alongside ensemble-based coursework. Students perform in a number of musicals staged each year through Theatre Sheridan in the Mainstage and Studio Theatres at the Trafalgar Campus, in addition to individual performance assessments in each discipline. The curriculum also includes business and entrepreneurial coursework intended to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the entertainment industry or for starting their own production companies, alongside a focus on maintaining personal health and wellness within a demanding performance training environment. By graduation, students are expected to have developed audition-ready skills across acting, singing and dance along with a list of performance credits from their time in the program. The program suits students pursuing a professional performing career in musical theatre who want intensive, individualized training in all three core disciplines rather than a general theatre or music degree.

Requirements

A comprehensive audition is required of every applicant, assessed for a fee, with details posted to the Sheridan Application Portal after applying; applicants are ranked on the average of their six highest senior-level credits plus their audition result. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan's institution-wide English Proficiency Requirement for degree programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 21), PTE 60 (no section below 57), or Duolingo 115 (no subscore below 95).

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
