The Graduate Lighting Design program at the University of Florida offers an all-encompassing approach to studying both electric and natural lighting in our environment. This wide-ranging perspective ensures graduates develop expertise across all lighting design applications. Students receive well-rounded training that spans conventional theater and dance productions, integrated lighting/video/projection techniques, and architectural lighting (in partnership with the School of Architecture). Tailored to each student's strengths and career objectives, the program allows for customization to focus on particular interests or address skill gaps. Faculty members leverage their professional connections to support students in reaching immediate and future career milestones. While many graduates enter design professions, others utilize their education across diverse lighting industry sectors. The curriculum adapts to evolving industry demands while maintaining foundational artistic principles.
