We educate aspiring scenic, costume, and lighting design professionals. Our alumni excel at the pinnacle of their craft, creating designs for theater, opera, film, television, and dance productions.
Through an intensive, tailored curriculum, our students master the ability to convey ideas effectively—both visually and interpersonally—to collaborators and audiences alike. We aim to cultivate thoughtful, cooperative artists of exceptional skill who can tackle sophisticated creative problems with originality, skill, and ethical consideration. Our instructors and graduates are active across all sectors of the entertainment field.
The program generally accepts two students in each area (scenic design, costume design, and lighting design). It is extremely difficult to gain admission directly out of a BA/BFA program with no other credentials.
