Overview
Key Features
With major professor and graduate committee approval, candidates of the Design - Theatre Technology program at University of South Dakota must elect an area of emphasis and must complete additional requirements for the emphasis area:
- Costume design
- Lighting and sound design
- Scenic design
- Technical production
The department recognizes that the designer and technician must seek to attain a broad knowledge of the theatre and its companion arts, a high level of analytical and communicative skills, an understanding of the design elements as they apply to live, three-dimensional performances revealed by light, a comprehensive understanding of art and theatrical design history and the ability to communicate graphically.
Because program admissions are limited, each student receives a high level of individualized instruction, opportunities to design in the arena season of plays, and, in most instances, the opportunity to design a mainstage production as part of the design candidate's culminating project. At least fifty percent of the graduate program of study credit hours must be in courses numbered 600 or above. This program requires 60 credit hours of study.
