The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Design and Production curriculum is designed for the talented artist who wishes to prepare for a professional career in theatre design and production. The curriculum provides a balance of academic theatre studies with practical production experience as well as a strong base of liberal arts studies, which will enable students to think and perform creatively, and communicate effectively both as theatre professionals and as members of a global society.

Program Outcomes

Students completing the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Design and Production will be able to:

  • demonstrate the ability to develop their design and production work and see it realized through the collaboration of the production team on fully produced theatrical productions;
  • develop a portfolio, resume, and website that will enable the graduate to showcase their individual design and production work; and
  • demonstrate an ability to analyze dramatic literature and its performance/production in cultural and historical contexts.
