It is very interesting that other schools are expanding their curriculums. Although our department has less of an emphasis on film, I am happy that many platforms for design are included within pur curriculum. I believe a love of entertainment design can apply to many more venues than theatre and it is great that CMU fosters this understanding. I am curious how Juilliard's BFA students felt about the new MFA program. I appreciate the sentiment that talent and instincts are not directly tied to age.
