The program prepares you for a career as a theatrical set, costume or lighting designer. Students interested in theater design take courses in drawing, scenic design, lighting design, and costume design, in addition to technical and craft courses. The BFA design program is intensive training that uses the research resources of New York City and provides design opportunities in two theaters and one studio.
