I am currently searching for a graduate program to attend in order to get a MFA in Lighting Design. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for strong programs?
A colleague and I were talking about this just the other day, and I mentioned that if I were looking for a graduate school in lighting, Carnegie-Mellon University would be at the very top of my list--its location in Pittsburgh notwithstanding.
For one, they have always maintained an excellent reputation (arguably second only to Yale School of Drama), and I was very impressed by one of their graduates. I believe their Technical Director (dbthetd) http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/members/dbthetd.htmlis a member here. Also, they have just recruited one of the top concert lighting designers, Abigail Rosen Holmes as an associate professor of Lighting Design.
Just my 2¢.

Im getting to the point where I need to start thinking about grad school as well. I have 2 years left in my undergrad degree, which will be in theatre. Do I need to start looking now, or do I need to focus more on doing more design work in the area, or what? I know that im interested in lighting design, but also sort of want to go on a few tours or something before I get too old to put up with 5 hours of sleep a night. Just not sure where I should be focusing my efforts at the moment. Any ideas?
