Jennifer, the University of Kansas offers a BFA in Theatre and Voice, a joint degree offered by the School of Humanities (Department of Theatre and Film) and the School of Fine Arts (Department of Music). Its focus is, naturally, musical theater. :-) I'm a bit partial, but I believe it's an excellent program. Mandy Patinkin thought so, too -- he was a student there at the same time I was (early/mid-70s). I was doing a piano performance major, but I did some theater as well. OK, Lawrence isn't a huge metropolis, but you might have more opportunities for performance, and I know the program is well-respected outside of the midwest.
All the best!
