I am helping my D19 build her initial colleges to review list. Are there other colleges besides CMU that offer a Video & Media Design type major within the School of Drama? She is interested in theatre tech but is also interested in video/multimedia design.
Have you looked at Emerson? Another might be Univ. of Oregon. Although I’m not sure UofO’s program is connected to the drama dept.
Thank you, @Mimi2018 – we have not looked at Emerson yet. Oregon is a bit far geographically (we are in Virginia).
@OrangeFish – A double major at James Madison University (JMU) between School of Media Arts and Design (SMAD), and School of Theatre and Dance (STAD) is very doable, and popular. Alums are successful working professionals.
Interested students should go through the interview/ portfolio review/ audition process for Theatre and Dance in senior year and if admitted declare as a first major. The second major in SMAD can be declared in August. It is very possible to complete both majors.
I am a the first year adviser for all majors in the School of Theatre and Dance at JMU, and work with students in their first year as they build their schedules. I help students new students get into first major, potential second major, and elective class schedules. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you, @KatMT!
Savannah College of Art and Design has a motion media BFA and a performance BFA, not sure how easily they can be combined.
Thank you, @Jkellynh17 !
UNCSA has a variety of BFA major options in the school of film and the school of production and design.
Thank you, @bfahopeful !
