LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CURRICULUM GUIDE
Stage Technology
Associate in Applied Arts Degree
Curriculum Code: 0853 (Effective Fall 2003 - Summer 2008)
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 communication,
including television and film studies; electrical or medical engineering; or
other related fields may find the unique blend of theory andpractice 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.
PREREQUISITES
Students should see Course Descriptions or Course Offerings for course
