Hi, i am looking at applying to schools with a BFA in Musical Theatre, but would also love to take classes in makeup, hair, and costume design. does anyone know of any schools that offer this? Thanks in advance!
The University of Utah has a lot of classes in these areas that all theatre majors can take! You can take the make up class as an option in the 4 year plan, or sophmore year there is a class called scenography in which you can choose to do a focus in either costumes, make up, etc. We also offer a Major in performance design with an emphasis in costume design, and we have many costume designers who go on to work at our on campus equity theatre. So yes, there are many opportunities for knowledge in those areas at Utah (On top of the great MTP education you would be receiving).
Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
Montclair has a BFA in Production and Design. Maybe could call and check out options.http://www.montclair.edu/arts/theatre-and-dance/academic-programs/undergraduate/bfa-production-and-design/bfaproductionanddesigncurriculum/
Ithaca has a degree in theatre production, including makeup, costuming, etc. http://www.ithaca.edu/catalogs/ug1112/hs/theater_arts/theater_arts_courses/
But I think what the OP is asking about is a school that will let you major in MT and take some classes in costume design? Rather than a dedicated tech degree?
Indiana requires MT Students take Costume and Set Design, or maybe it was tech hours. But I know they must take some form of Costuming for a grade, because on a tour, one of the students was discussing his “experience” costuming with parents and he was careful to explain this was “required”.
OCU requires courses in Costume design and construction/make up and Stagecraft for MTs. There is a design and production degree in the theatre school that offers more courses. You might be able to add some of those additional classes in those areas if your schedule would allow. But I would ask the school to make sure.
Viterbo requires all its MTs to take at least one of Stagecraft, Costuming, or Stage Lighting. We are also required to take Makeup, as well as six semesters of Practicum (a different technical assignment for a production–if you so desire, you could elect to be a hair and makeup designer for a production). There are also upper-level courses in those technical theatre disciplines that are open to the whole department (with the appropriate prereqs), but not required to be taken. I know that in Viterbo’s BFA in technical theatre, you can specialize in costuming–but that’s not to say that you can’t shape your BFA in MT to include more courses in design and costuming as well. The department very much encourages its students to be interdisciplinary and explore all their interests. In fact, my roommate, @nomester7, who is a BFA Acting major, has a marked interest in costuming, and may choose to make it a bigger part of her degree–but I’ll let her speak to that.
@CanadianMTgirl reminded me in her post above of Illinois Wesleyan… her description of Viterbo reminded me of the info session from IWU’s audition last year. So another program to look into for a performance degree that encourages the pursuit of the technical side of things (including costuming)!
Yes, at Viterbo you can take Costuming, and after you’ve completed that course you can take Costume Design which is a higher level course that deals with not only more advanced techniques in costume construction, but in the design aspect itself. After Costume Design is completed, you can student design a show! 
I have work-study in the costume shop which is just another way that I’ve been able to build my sewing skills and really discover my love for costuming. As @CanadianMTgirl said, we are required to take Theatre Practicum, and costume construction and costume run crew are both options among the dozens of other technical jobs we do.
Otterbein MTs and Acting take stage make up, not sure about costume design I’ll have to check.
The MT kids at Rider do stagecraft hours, and Costume Shop can be part of that.
