  • 2015-16 Annual Report
    2015-16 ANNUAL REPORT The School of Theatre & Music (STM) provides innovative, rigorous, and comprehensive academic and performance programs as part of our diverse, urban context. Our programs develop practical knowledge, cultural sensitivity, intellectual resourcefulness, and imaginative daring in emerging artists and scholars. We connect students to Chicago’s abundant, vibrant theatre culture and to the city’s dynamic jazz and classical music networks. “Our third year as the School of Theatre and Music was a time of important growth. We welcomed new faculty and a record number of students from diverse backgrounds. We rolled out a new Music Business degree, two completely reimagined theatre degrees including a BA in Theatre and Peformance and a BA in Theatre Design, Production, and Technology, and an international exchange program with Eolia Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Barcelona, Spain. Finally, faculty took advantage of their professional networks to provide students with opportunities to complement coursework with internships, practicums and artistic exchange. Current students, alumni, and supporters are increasingly aware that something great is happening in Theatre and Music at UIC. ” - Christine Mary Dunford Director OUR STUDENTS 90 Music Majors 129 Theatre Majors 25 Music Minors 7 Theatre Minors STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS White/ Non-Hispanic (39%) Hispanic or Latino (24%) Black/ Non-Hispanic (23%) Multirace (10%) Asian/ Pacific Islander (4%) 2016 APPLICANTS 343 Applications % 22 US States 27 8 Countries CLASS OF 2016 34 Graduating Seniors GRADUATING STUDENT DEGREES BFA Theatre (12) BA Theatre (9) BMus Performance (6) BMus Jazz Studies (4) BA Theatre Design (2) BA Music (1) NON-MAJOR PARTICIPATION Over 2,700 students from 66 majors 69% of the performers in STM music across campus took a theatre or music ensembles were non-majors.
