Our program is designed for students who intend to pursue a professional theatre career, further graduate study in theatre or a related profession where design and technology skills are highly desirable.

Themed environments have expanded beyond the theatre and so have the opportunities for our graduates. In addition to working on Broadway and in the film and television industry, students have designed and built for theme parks and concerts.
