LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CURRICULAR GUIDE
Stage Technology
Associate in Applied Arts Degree
Curriculum Code: 0853 (Effective Fall 2000 - Summer 2005)
The Stage Technology Program provides training in technical skills associated
with the stage technology industry, as well as general education classes that are
part of most liberal studies degrees. Students who eventually plan to study
scenic design or lighting design; media technology or communications, including
television and film studies; electrical or mechanical engineering; or other
related fields may find the unique blend of theory and practice in the Stage
Technology Program particularly helpful. Upon completion of this degree,
students may choose to enter the stage technology field; or with appropriate
course planning, a student may transfer to a four-year institution. Not all
courses in this program transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer
should see an academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any course.

Class Schedule for course prerequisite information. Basic skills assessment and
