BFA in Theater Design and Production

The costume design and technology program is a professional training program for talented and motivated students who wish to pursue a career in theatre, opera or dance. Costume designers communicate better with costume technicians when they have a working knowledge of the elements and areas of costume technology; costume technicians communicate better with costume designers when they have a working knowledge of the process and elements of costume design. Therefore, both the BFA and MFA degrees emphasize the dual importance of design and technology. Your strength may lie in one area or the other, yet knowledge of both is critical in this collaborative art. And, as is often the case, entry-level positions in professional costume shops and theatres frequently tend to be in technology (cutting, draping, crafts, paintdye) and wardrobe, and less frequently in design. Our program recognizes this fact and addresses it honestly.
