BA in Entertainment Design and Technology

Eastern Michigan University

The Bachelor of Arts in Entertainment Design and Technology is a multidisciplinary program for students interested in the Entertainment Industry. The core curriculum is grounded in theatre design and technology, with supplemental studies from arts and technology courses across the campus. Students will learn a wide range of skills related to theatrical design and technology (in areas such as scenery, lighting, costumes, projections, sound, management, and more). A core tenet is learning by doing. Students will build strong portfolios by engaging in hands-on work and collaborating with faculty and other students. Students are encouraged to seek opportunities to work in the entertainment industry. As such, faculty and staff engage students in finding employment and internship opportunities in the industry. In addition, our students regularly attend professional conferences such as The United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT). Finally, our program has connections with corporate affiliates who regularly provide support for our productions and offer employment opportunities for our students.
