Undergraduate Design/Technical/Stage Management Emphasis
The Design/Technology Sequence prepares students to enter graduate Design or Technology Programs or pursue professional careers in theater, television and film. The course work provides the highest caliber of training possibilities within the context of a liberal arts education, so students can thrive either in a graduate conservatory program or in the profession. Through intensive and varied classes in design and technology, combined with hands-on work with creative teams for full-scale productions, students develop a passion for what will become their artistic leadership and an understanding of creative communications that will continue with them throughout their lives.
In order for the student to progress to the next level of study, prerequisites for admission to some classes are required.
