<p>I've been accepted into the Design/Tech program and am excited to be attending SUNY Purchase next year, but I haven't heard much about the program except for what I learned in my admissions interview. I was wondering what the design/tech program's reputation is?</p>
<p>Extremely focused with a lot of hands-on, technical experience. Doesn’t offer any in-depth background, though.</p>
<p>My son is in the Acting Program and he has some classes with them. He says it’s truly a family and those kids have CONNECTIONS. Most of the stage mangers and lighting designers are working on Broadway before they graduate. Three of them are assistants on “Fences” starring Denzel Washington.</p>
<p>It’s the best undergrad program because it’s so close to Manhattan. So they can draw a faculty of the best.</p>
<p>One of the most selective design/tech programs in the country and notable teachers with a slew of Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony awards. Congratulations.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone! I’m getting more and more excited to attend.
More specifically, do you know if their costume design program is strong?</p>
<p>My d was accepted to their program as well. We are going to check the department out next week to compare to CALARTS and CCM.</p>
