The performing arts certificate program offers deaf and hard-of-hearing students the opportunity to develop knowledge of standard theatrical operating procedures as well as principles and practices of theater accessibility for deaf people. Students completing this certificate often go on to work in professional and community theater. The certificate also provides a solid foundation for those who wish to pursue further education in the performing arts. The certificate is offered to students enrolled in AOS and AAS degree programs at NTID. It is not a stand-alone certificate.
