• Students interested in the Musical Theatre Program should already have a strong background and interest in musical theatre. Prior performing arts education/coursework is a plus but not required.

The cost of studying at Roosevelt University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $26,520 annually, to study in Roosevelt University.

There are many performance opportunities for our students both on campus and off. The Theatre Conservatory production season provides students with many exciting and challenging casting opportunities, student-led work is encouraged, and it is even possible to audition for professional work in Chicago as an upperclassman. Upperclassmen in good standing are allowed to audition for productions outside of CCPA, adding valuable professional credits to their resumes prior to graduation.
