Bachelor of Science in Theatre Design and Technology

A concentration in theatre design, technology & management introduces students to all aspects of theatre arts and permits students to specialize in the areas of design, technology and management. The BS program in theatre also prepares students who are disciplined and dedicated for a career in the behind-the-scenes areas of the performing arts. The program is designed to foster skills and knowledge commensurate with the demands of a life in the theatre. Students are also prepared for further study at the graduate or conservatory level. Students seeking this degree in Theatre must have grades of C (2.0) or higher in all theatre courses and participate (as designer, crew, etc.) in two mainstage productions a year.

To earn a degree, students must complete at least 120 credits, though the exact number varies based on the chosen degree and concentration program. They must fulfill the General Education Program requirements, along with any additional degree and concentration-specific requirements. A minimum number of upper-division credits (300-level or above) is also necessary, with variations across academic units and programs, so students should refer to the specific requirements of their college or school—including the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education, the College of Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Management, or the College of Innovation and Technology—as well as their intended concentration program. Additionally, students must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.0, though some programs require a higher GPA for completion
