My daughter is currently a BFA costume design major at DePaul. She LOVES it. However the major is VERY time consuming in and of itself. It is very difficult double majoring, however there are kids who do it! Because of the conservatory experience the students are given a lot of in depth study. You will get experience in makeup, costume technology, in depth production classes. Later on in your program you have the opportunity to take classes in lighting and scenic design as well. EVERY quarter you will be given a crew assignment on a play as well, which will give you some great experience. However, crew is also time consuming. My daughter will have 12-14 hour days when she crews (in addition to classes). Contact them! If you have any questions about their program I can ask her specifics as well. She has been incredibly happy and is loving her classes and experiences as a whole. http://theatre.depaul.edu/conservatory/undergraduate/costume-design/Pages/curriculum.aspx
