B.F.A Wig and Makeup Design Webster University

Program Description

Webster’s Conservatory of Theatre Arts BFA degree in Wig and Makeup Design is one of only a few programs whose productions are designed entirely by undergraduate students; faculty input on production work is strictly advisory. Design students acquire production experience necessary for their degree and simultaneously build exciting, varied portfolios. The combination conceptual work in the design classroom coupled with practical shop and stage work creates a unique opportunity for artistic and professional growth. And our curricular sequence aims to improve each student’s artistic skills. Students majoring in Wig and Makeup Design pair design classes with fine arts courses throughout their time at Webster. Many students also opt to study abroad or do an internship during their third or fourth year at the University.
