The BFA Design and Production program combines hands-on training with academic coursework in theater history and theory. You'll explore various aspects of design including sets, costumes, lighting, and sound, along with practical skills like construction, stage management, and production technologies.
This BFA program equips graduates for professional roles in commercial theater or further studies at the graduate level. The curriculum covers technical areas such as scenic construction, lighting, props, management, and design. Typically starting in your sophomore year, the three-year program begins with show crew participation and backstage exploration during year one, followed by focused specialization in your chosen field during years two and three.
