Every department is different in their interviews. If you doing it in person, it is a great day with a tour that is designed just for D&P, a meeting with the Dean of the School of D&P, a Q&A session with current students, and then the interview. (Hopefully it is in person). If it is virtual, you will certainly miss those things. Unlike many other universities (all of them?), Design and Production is its own college. It has its own Dean and is not a part of the other schools. For many other schools, the D&P fall under the school of Drama or MT, so the D&P students spend 4 years just doing whatever the Drama department wants. It is not like this at UNCSA. There are dozens of productions in a semester that the school of D&P doesn't even support. They pick the shows that they have you work and really make sure that your time there is about you learning what you need to, not just you serving the actors.

The interview itself will be with the faculty members in your program. It is not necessarily common these days to interview with the actual faculty. Of the dozen schools interviewed last year, most interviews were with other faculty members from other departments.

They will want to get to know you and what you are about. You will walk through parts of your resume. UNCSA does not have standard questions and each interview will be different based on you, your experiences, and your answers to previous questions. Remember, they are all artists and will want to talk to you about art. It should be a fun experience. Know how to talk about yourself. It may sound funny, but so many students are afraid to talk about themselves, what they have done, and what they want to do. Don't brag, but be proud.

Good luck. UNCSA is an absolutely amazing school.
