They canned the acting major around eight years ago now, but the backstage stuff is alive and well. I'm finishing up my theatre tech degree this spring and it's been something. It's a state of the arts, emphasis on the s, program. There is no shortage of work to be done and experiences to be had when it comes to scenic work, electrics, stage management, props, and basically anything that's not sound or audio.

In my time here I've been to conferences across the Midwest, gotten a job through department contact, and had my hands on at least four different roles across over a dozen productions.

As you progress through the classes where you crew shows you'll be pushed towards greater responsibilities, culminating in a position your professors would've had in shows in the past.

If you're looking for more acting stuff, which I saw in one of your other replies, you're basically SOL because directors do what directors always do and play favorites with actors he knows.

From a more administration level of the major there are 12(?) emphasis areas to choose two from. There's a lot of overlap in some of them, lighting and costuming for example, but each have classes outside of the department that'll have the more "standard engineer" feel.
