The Costume Program serves as an innovative workshop where you'll cultivate advanced abilities in research, idea development, verbal and visual communication, artistic design, illustration, project leadership, and specialized technical competencies.
These capabilities are honed through hands-on involvement with Theater Department productions. By contributing to these performances, you'll accumulate valuable design expertise while building fundamental technical skills in garment construction and pattern drafting within our costume workshop.
This experiential learning is complemented by theoretical assignments, ensuring you create a comprehensive professional portfolio. Throughout your studies, each project receives personalized guidance to refine your artistic growth and prepare you for success in the theatrical industry.
