Our bachelor of fine arts (BFA) in design and technology pre-professional program focuses on the whole theatre artist—design theory and technical skills are equally valued. Because we are an undergraduate-only program, you will gain significant hands-on experience in our dynamic production season beginning your freshman year. These opportunities range from crew positions to lead design and technical roles. During the summers, our students are encouraged to pursue employment and internship opportunities around the country.
