In this program, students are trained in the many design aspects and technical functions of the performing arts. This study involves analysis and comparison of the historical, critical, and aesthetic contexts in which the dramatic tradition has developed.

In their third year, students will have an interview and portfolio review. They will then choose, with the advice of faculty and staff, a specialty in one of the major areas of theatre technology, design (scenic, costume, lighting), or stage management.
