| The BFA Design/Technology degree builds specific
skills in production from a strong foundation of general knowledge
of technical theatre and the design aspects of theatre. Students
choose from a range of courses, both introductory and advanced,
from writing and drawing, to construction and sewing.
To help students prepare for future employment or graduate school,
all students are strongly encouraged to pursue practical experience
through TH 490: Cooperative Education (Internship) as well as the
Production Application courses, designed to put theory into practice
as part of Central Theatre Ensemble's regular on-campus season.
