Program Overview
The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater (Theater B.F.A.) with a concentration in Production Design and Technology provides an emphasis on the environmental aspects of performance. Design and technology skills, concepts and techniques for scenery, costumes, lighting, properties, sound, and crafts are taught in a series of courses and special projects throughout the four-year curriculum. Productions are prepared under the advisement and participation of the production faculty and staff, and qualified students are challenged with major creative, technical, or managerial responsibilities.
During the first two years, students should complete much of the Theater B.F.A. Core and University General Education requirements. In consultation with their faculty mentor, students will take production design and technology foundation courses at the 2000-level and above. The final two years are directed toward honing skills and building a portfolio based on design and technology courses suited to student’s career goals and aspirations.
All theater majors are required to attain a minimum grade of “C” (2.0) in any theater course required for graduation.
