• The lighting design degree program simulates a real lighting designer’s professional experience while offering ample opportunities for the exploration and expansion of their creative expression.
  • Students learn to visualize, create and implement their lighting designs by collaborating with directors, dramaturges, technicians, and DePaul’s professional production staff. Students also work as master electricians and lighting designers for workshops and public productions by The Theatre School.
  • In the fourth year of the program, they will complete an internship in the lighting design industry in order to further gain real-world experience. At the end of the fourth year, students will have the chance to take part in the annual Graduate Showcase, where they will present their lighting designs to artistic directors and other members of the theatre, film, and television industries.
