  Mason Gross School of the Arts 2004-2006 Graduate Programs in Theater Arts Master of Fine Arts Program Program in Design and Costume Technology  

Program in Design and Costume Technology

The degree program in design and costume technology offers concentrations in scenic design, costume design, lighting design, and costume technology. The programs in scenic, costume, and lighting require 69 credits, plus 12 performance project credits in major production design or costume technology. All graduating design and technology students are required to present a portfolio of their work at the final portfolio review in the third year. The portfolio must include a current résumé. A minimum residency of three years is required.

The design program takes a conservatory approach, setting aside the first year to build a solid base in the classic skills and techniques that all theater design and production specialists must have. The second and third years expand on that base by examining thoroughly the theory and practice of the design and technical process. Classes are taught by professional designers and technicians who are active in the field. Students work on department productions, and each person gets production and design assignments based on his or her ability and on the availability of work. Technical-production students are given equivalent assignments in their chosen fields.
