Overview

The core of the curriculum is the Master Class, a weekly seminar for all of the lighting designers in the program. Supplementing this course are special topic classes, which address specific genres such as lighting for Dance, Opera, and Non-Traditional Performance, as well as complex technical problems that arise with certain types of scenery.

Key Facts

We also offer a course in The History of Lighting Design to give students a sense of where they fall in the arc of this profession, and Business Practices for Lighting Designers, which will alert coming graduates to the real-life skills that are necessary for the profession. This Dramatic Arts (Lighting Design) at University of Connecticut includes many production-design assignments at the CRT as well as opportunities to work as design interns at nearby regional theatres.

Most students in this program create the principal lighting design for as many as four fully mounted Studio Works and Main Stage CRT productions during their three years of residency. One Main Stage design during the third year will serve as the student’s official MFA final project. The department also encourages graduate students (often with financial support) to attend and participate in such organizations as USITT and Young Designers’ Forum, as well as the Gilbert Hemsley Internship program, as bridges into the professional world.
