Design & Technology - Undergraduate

The BFA Design and Technology curriculum is designed to meet the diverse aesthetic and technological demands of contemporary society. Today's theatre design and production depend heavily on the complex electronic and mechanical systems used in professional theatres. This curriculum provides academic instructing and professional training in costume design, costume technology, scenic design, and lighting design.

The primary qualitative focus of the Bachelor of Fine Arts theatre production degree program is to present the most effective and affective performances possible. It also provides a laboratory for students and the opportunity for practical application of classroom exercises and theories.

The BFA curricula are intended for students who plan to enter professional careers, allied fields, or graduate study. In addition to a liberal arts background, the BFA Degree prepares the aspiring professional in an area of emphasis through classroom, laboratory, studio, and performance course of study.

Students enrolled in theatre production: costume design, lighting design, and scene design will complete course work in all three areas. Selected independent study, advanced electives, and production assignments in THE 4950 focus on the specialization.

A portfolio is required. For more information, consult the Undergraduate Advisor.
