This BFA program develops technical and design skills through experiences in the classroom and performance laboratory. As students acquire skills and knowledge through classroom and practical experiences, they will progress to supervised design application.

Theatre design and technology majors benefit from the wealth of opportunities available through Nebraska Wesleyan's active production schedule. Theatre design and technology majors are encouraged to work closely with faculty and staff as members of production teams.
