You’ll want to look at programs where the theatre degree is a BA rather than a BFA to allow for a double major in EE. Schools where this is the case and an ABET-accredited degree in EE include:
- Colorado State University (BA in Theatre, Lighting Design and Technology Concentration)
- University of Illinois at Chicago (BA in Technical Theatre Design, Production, and Technology)
- University of Evansville (BS in Design and Technology - the BS degree may make it easier to double major in EE?)
- LSU (BA in Design and Technology)
- Eastern Michigan University (BA in Entertainment Design and Technology, this program is also available as a minor which may be of interest)
- UMN (BA in Theatre Arts with a track in Design and Technology)
- NJIT (BA in Theatre Arts & Technology - this may be of particular interest as the website explicitly states that it “is designed as a stand-alone or as a double major with any other field of study offered at NJIT”)
- Rowan University (BA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Design/Tech)
- It may be worth looking into Marymount Manhattan’s merger with Northeastern - MMC has Theatre and New Media concentration within its BA/BS in Theatre and I wonder if it can be combined with NE’s EE programs or if that program will be offered in the NE NYC campus
- There’s no EE specifically at Elon University (although they are ABET accredited in other disciplines), but there’s no question that this is one of the finest theatre departments in the country (with a BA in Theatrical Design and Technology) and I wonder if Elon’s Engineering Design minor might be of interest to your child (as well as their liberal arts approach to engineering in general that seems to allow for a lot of flexibility in pursuing other fields)
- Baldwin Wallace may also be worth a look (also no EE but ABET-accredited in other disciplines, but a historically powerhouse theatre department - some faculty departures recently may change this, you would likely want to visit and get to know the new theatre faculty, especially vis-a-vis high-octane MT production opportunities and how that affects the BA Theatre: Design and Technical students)
- James Madison (also no EE but ABET-accredited in other disciplines, with a BA in Theatre: Design/Technology)
- Western Washington University (BA in Theatre: Entertainment Design and Technology)
