or completion of two semesters of the same college level foreign
language or documented prociency of a foreign language. If you did
not complete two years of the same high school foreign language
and do not have documented prociency of a foreign language, you
will need to complete two semesters of the same college level foreign
language in order to graduate with your Associate in Arts degree.
These foreign language credits will count towards your required

SPECIALIZATION AREAS
PERFORMING ARTS AND PRODUCTION DESIGN
The Theater and Entertainment Technology curricula oer students
well-rounded, creative, and practical training in dance, musical
theater, acting, scenic/lighting design and technology, costume
design and technology, and stage management. The department’s
accelerated programs, along with their production schedules, allow
incoming students immediate “hands-on” experience. Upon program
completion, performance students have received an excellent
foundation to either begin their professional careers or to continue
on to a university or conservatory for advanced level training.
The Florida School of the Arts Performing Arts and Production
Design program has six disciplines of study:
ACTING: A Florida School of the Arts acting major has the unique
opportunity to audition and perform in a number of productions
each year, including four main stage and other productions.
Students receive practical, creative and insightful instruction in
the classroom and on the stage. This intensive training, consisting
of the development of the voice, body, gesture, and creative
imagination, enables the actor to work in a myriad of theatrical
styles from the classics to contemporary comedy, drama and
musicals. In Acting for the Camera, students adapt those skills for
the specic demands of television and lm. Students also gain
valuable instruction in all phases of theatre production, including
stage construction, lighting, sound, costume design/construction,
make-up and stage movement. Upon completion of the program,
acting students are prepared for entry-level positions in the acting
profession or to proceed to four-year university or conservatory
programs to further their training and study.
DANCE: This progressive dance program consists of intensive
technical training in the areas of ballet and contemporary dance.
Students also study various stylized forms of dance including jazz,
musical theater, tap and ethnic forms. As part of the students’
creative development, course work is required in improvisation
and choreography. Students also have the option to choose from
a variety of dance electives to develop their craft and explore
practical applications in the eld of dance through course work
in dance history, dance ensemble performance work and a
conditioning class. Upon graduation, the student is prepared
for current career choices in professional dance companies, the
entertainment industry or to continue on to a conservatory or four-
year bachelor of ne arts institution.
MUSICAL THEATER: Musical theater majors at Florida School of the
Arts receive professional training in three core areas: music/singing,
dancing, and acting. The music component of the degree requires
that students study and pass music theory, sight singing, voice,
and piano. For the dance component, students are cross-trained
in ballet, jazz, and tap techniques. For the acting component, the
coursework consists of practical, hands-on training to develop the
actor’s voice, gesture, body, and creative imagination. As part of the
acting component, students also gain valuable instruction in all
phases of theater production, including stage design/construction,
lighting, sound, costume design/construction, makeup, and
stage movement. Upon completion of this intense curriculum,
graduates may go directly into a career in musical theater or the
entertainment industry.
SCENIC/LIGHTING DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY: The scenic and
lighting design curriculum at Florida School of the Arts is unique
in that it provides students practical stage experience balanced
between classroom and laboratory instruction. There is a strong
emphasis in practical skills, creative problem solving, and artistic
collaboration, as well as strong foundational development of
knowledge in the equipment, materials, and skills practices of the
theatre production industry. The program requires students to
develop and present major projects in scenic design, lighting de-
sign, and accompanying technologies as well as other contributing
areas, including scene painting, sound, drafting for theatre, and
stage properties. These projects ultimately contribute to a well-
developed and versatile portfolio. Upon successful completion of
the degree, students are prepared to continue their education in
scenic design, lighting design or technical direction, or any other
design/production practice or to seek employment in professional
theatres, touring companies or professional scenic or lighting
shops.
COSTUME DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY: The costume design
curriculum at Florida School of the Arts begins with an examination
of the fundamental techniques utilized in design and construction
through a series of historical and problem-oriented projects.
Emphasis is placed on research, imagination, problem solving
and presentation of work. Students in the costume program also
have the unique opportunity to create work for the many school
productions throughout the year. Upon completion of the costume
program, a student is prepared for employment as a costume/
wardrobe professional or as a costume technician in a professional
shop. Students may also choose to continue their education in
costume design and construction at the university level.
STAGE MANAGEMENT: The stage management curriculum
at Florida School of the Arts focuses on building strong
communication, organizational and problem-solving skills in all
phases of the production process. Practical hands-on experience
is gained through participation as stage managers or assistant
stage managers for the school’s heavy production schedule. Upon
completion of the stage management program, students have
received the skills and training necessary to either begin their
career or seek advanced level training.
VISUAL ART
The Florida School of the Arts Visual Art program has four disciplines
of study:
STUDIO ART: Social and technological changes have transformed
the way artists work. The studio art program emphasizes
fundamental principles through practical exercises while
exploring the contemporary discourse that surrounds art and art
communities. Studio art students are expected to explore relevant
concepts while experimenting with cross-disciplinary practices
which include painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and
installation art. Students in the program learn professional gallery
display techniques and have the opportunity to show their works
in scheduled exhibitions throughout the year.
GRAPHIC DESIGN: The new media design specialization
encompasses the use of new technologies in the making of art for
both functional and creative arenas. New media involves practices
ranging from conceptual and virtual art, to commercial and visual
communications. The specialization is a cross-disciplinary eld
involving computer graphics, photography, digital video, vector
imaging and animation.
PHOTOGRAPHY: From pinhole to pixel, silverprint to pigment ink,
the photography specialization brings historical perspective to
digital technologies. This is conrmed by the belief that teaching
essential technical skills, along with contemporary practices and
ideas, allows for the broadest opportunities and for the boldest
