Bachelor’s in Dance Curriculum

The dance major provides students with an understanding of how dance fits into a larger, global context and helps students develop in several areas: technical proficiency, historical and cultural perspectives, personal artistry, and production skills. Through dance technique classes, rehearsals and a range of performance opportunities, you'll gain the experience and training needed for a successful career in dance. As a dance major, you’ll also learn the behind-the-scenes process of putting a show together and get the opportunity (in choreography and dance composition courses) to develop your unique voice as an artist. 

The Bachelor of Arts degree requires at least 24 credits of coursework from the following disciplines: ARTS, COMM, DANC, FILM, HIST, HUMN, LITR, MUSC, PHIL, and THEA, as well as an intermediate degree of competency in a foreign language (generally, a minimum of 6 credits or another demonstration of competency).
