Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Fine Arts - Theatre Arts - Design/Technology

4-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and Academic Accelerator Program exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework. Students may enter the program in the spring, summer or fall. Upon completion of the program, students progress into the second year of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

As a major in theatre design/technology, Students will train in the many aspects of design and technical functions of the performing arts, including set and costume design, props, drafting, lighting design and pulling it all together as a producer. They will analyze and compare the historical, critical and aesthetic contexts in which the dramatic tradition has developed. In their third year, faculty will review their portfolio and advise them on which area - theatre technology, scenic design, costume design, lighting design or stage management - they should specialize in.
