Undergraduate

The undergraduate curriculum leads toward a B.A. degree in Dance.  Comprehensive studio and theory courses provide a foundation for a range of careers in the field.  Students may choose to study a particular aspect of dance in depth, such as performance, choreography, or production, by taking advantage of the wide range of elective offerings and the many performance opportunities that exist; or they may choose to merge their interest in dance with an interest in another field of study. 

Graduates of the program have gone on to careers as professional dancers and choreographers, university and secondary school teachers, arts managers, dance administrators, and dance critics.  They also work in the fields of dance medicine, anthropology,  and dance movement therapy. 

The dance faculty is composed of a number of distinguished teachers, choreographers, and performers, each one a specialist in his or her own field.  Visiting artists throughout the year make additional contributions to the program. There are performance and choreographic opportunities for all dance students, ranging from informal workshops to fully mounted concerts both on and off campus.
