“Faculty and staff have focused on creating opportunities and partnerships with professionals in the field. We want to provide expanded experiences for students through high-caliber mentorship and as many production opportunities as possible. As a result, we’re making a name for ourselves on the national level. Students leave the program with the skills to apply to the profession or any other field they chose to follow because they are fundamentally learning about problem-solving and collaboration.”
-- Gregory Ramos, department chair and resident director - Fall 2012 thru Fall 2019
