A day in the life of the D&P scene shop

There are 22 full-time faculty members in the School of Design & Production who teach the more than 150 courses offered each year. The faculty is a distinguished team of highly qualified working professionals with a wide range of backgrounds, expertise and vast industry contacts. These contacts account, in large part, for the exceptionally high employment record of the school's graduates. Faculty members work hand-in-hand with students on the many productions given by the School of the Arts, and are readily accessible to offer individual guidance and consultation.

Each year, the School of Design & Production brings a number of distinguished professional artists and craftsmen to campus to give master classes, workshops and demonstrations to enhance the regular program of study. Such sessions can range from a day or two to several weeks. Guest artists are especially important to students' study during Intensive Arts, a two-week period prior to the Christmas holidays when regular classes are suspended and students work exclusively on arts projects and attend special workshops in their specialization.
