- The Costume Construction Technology program is a joint
degree program of the Indiana University School of Music and the
Department of Apparel
Merchandising and Interior Design (AMID) in the
College of Arts and
Sciences (COAS). The program offers structured coursework
in basic couture sewing, pattern drafting, dressmaking and
tailoring; as well as a four-semester ensemble requirement that
affords hands-on experience working in the
Elizabeth
Sage Costume Collection, the IU School of Music Costume
Shop, and as wardrobe personnel for the
IU Opera
Theater and the
IU Ballet
Theater. Students earn a concurrent Associate of Science (A.S.)
degree from the School of Music in addition to their Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) in Apparel Merchandising. Some students,
particularly those interested in fashion design, use the Costume
Construction Technology program as a foundation for their
participation in the
Individualized Major Program (IMP).
-
- The Costume Construction Technology program encourages
talented students who wish to participate in internships and
employment opportunities in summer theatres across the country.
-
- While recent graduates of the program have been working as
staff and interns at the Santa Fe Opera, the Central City Opera,
and the TDF Costume Collection, many go on to work in the
apparel industry, having gained an appreciation for and
knowledge of the technical demands of apparel and costume
construction that will serve their careers in fashion design and
merchandising.
