M.F.A. 生产技术
美术硕士
The 生产技术 program prepares students for careers as technicians in the professional theater and related fields. Our training provides employable skills which result in excellent job opportunities upon graduation.
培训
生产技术 areas include technical direction, 服装技术与工艺, 道具技术(工艺). The program is structured to allow specialization and to encourage dual area interests. With a graduate population of 25-30 design and technology students, classes tend to be small and intense, so students get a lot of individual attention and mentoring.
Each semester ends with a review by all of the faculty of recent student work. 在三年的时间里, emphasis is placed on professional portfolio development which synthesizes classes, production and resume building employment. Classes in 表演 Photography and Portfolio support this emphasis.
Summer work in the field is required, as is yearly national conference attendance.
