The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance is the music school at Ithaca College, in Ithaca, New York. It is one of the five schools of the college, taking space in the Dillingham Center and the Whalen Center for Music. Ithaca College was founded by William Egbert in 1892 as a conservatory of music. It had been called the School of Music up until merging with the Department of Theatre Arts in 2022. Since 1941, the School of Music has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

In 2022, the School of Music at Ithaca College officially combined with the Department of Theatre Arts, leading to the creation of a Division of Music and Division of Theatre and Dance. This led to the renaming of the School of Music to the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance.^[1]
