In UIUC’s BFA Costume Design & Technology, students sketch, drape, and 3-D-print their way from historical corsets to sci-fi exo-suits. Coursework spans fashion history, textile science, and CAD patterning, while productions at Krannert Center provide real deadlines and budgets. Collaborative labs with engineering explore e-textile LEDs and motion-capture suits, positioning graduates for theatre, film, themed-entertainment, and wearable-tech innovation.
