Jim Hutchinson, MFA Lighting Design, works in the Roy Bowen Theatre.

Master of Fine Arts in Design

Our M.F.A. degree in Design is a rigorous three-year program in which equal importance is placed on classroom studies and production program activity. A student may select a single area of emphasis from scenic, costume, and lighting design or elect to combine areas of design for emphasis. A student's program of study contains classes in all the areas of theatre that inform and enrich the area or areas of design selected. A student's progress in both the classroom and production program is carefully monitored by the design faculty through regular reviews. While an undergraduate degree in theatre is desirable, candidates possessing other undergraduate degrees will be considered.
