Studies. Students are now able to pursue a Certificate in Stage Management along with
their Baccalaureate degree. The Certificate in Stage Management consists of a balanced
combination of required courses that provide a wide range of knowledge in management,
sociology and theatre, as well as practical training essential for a stage management
professional. Workshops, seminars and lectures by guest professionals provide an essential
component in the program progression.
