Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Theatre Design] From Columbia College Chicago

Students may focus their work in the area of costumes, lighting, or scenic design, but they must take classes in each area to gain familiarity with all three design disciplines. Classes are also required in the areas of makeup, technical theatre, rendering and drawing, art and theatre history, and beginning acting.?

There are ample opportunities for students to work on departmental productions, from the bare-bones workshop level to fully budgeted main stage shows. In addition, assistant design and internship opportunities are available to work on productions in the larger Chicago theatre community. These opportunities often become available through the influence of our faculty of working professionals.

Upon graduation, students with a B.A. in Theatre Design will have developed a strong portfolio of work that can be used to seek admission to graduate school or to look for work in professional theatre.
